I'm dealing with a lung infection because of the climate here in Delhi. My doctor suggested taking TelekastL and Sereflo. I'm just a bit concerned about using TelekastL for a long period. Is it really safe? And should I be reconsidering living in Delhi if this is causing health issues? I'd really appreciate some insight into this.

Telekast-L (montelukast and levocetirizine) is generally safe for long-term use under medical supervision, but it may not address the root cause of a recurring lung infection. If Delhi's air quality consistently worsens your health, it may be worth considering relocating to a cleaner environment for long-term well-being.

I'm trying to understand the treatment for miliary tuberculosis and pulmonary tuberculosis. Are the medications used the same for both conditions, or do they require different prescriptions?

I've had a minimal PTB condition about 20 years ago and completed all the meds back then, but my latest X-ray just came back saying there's minimal PTB in the left upper lobe with undetermined activity. Should I be concerned about this result? What does 'undetermined activity' mean and could the PTB have come back, or could it be something else? I'm really worried and would appreciate your advice on what steps I should take next.
