I'm dealing with some annoying allergies that started yesterday, and now whenever I'm in cold air, I can't stop sneezing. I took Allegra last night, and thankfully, the sneezing has lessened today. However, when I cough, I feel a pain in my rib cage. Is this something I should be worried about? For some context, I had a moderate case of COVID about six months ago and my lungs were affected back then.

View allCan I take Dolo 650 while I'm on TB treatment if I have a fever? Also, when can I expect this fever to go away? I've been on medication for 29 days now.
It's generally safe to take Dolo 650 for fever during tuberculosis treatment, but it's important to follow your doctor's advice for specific medications and dosage. The duration of fever can vary depending on the severity of the infection and how your body responds to treatment. If the fever persists, it's a good idea to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm 24 and have been on anti-tuberculosis meds for a while, and tomorrow is my last day of them. Been super disciplined with my meds, and luckily my tests showed no AFB after two months and my chest X-ray was clear. I'm taking R Cinex 600 and Benaadon 40, and I've been feeling alrightgood appetite, no nausea. But what's been bothering me for the past 45 days is this mild pain in my left chest, plus a dry cough that sometimes comes with phlegm. Is this something to worry about? Could it be related to COVID or is it just a normal thing that happens with TB? I'm really worried.
Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I'm really concerned about my husband. He had COVID back in September 2021, and ever since we're worried about his lungs. He's been taking medication for pulmonary lung fibrosis for the last four months. I'm attaching his recent CT scan of his lungs. Can you tell if there's been any improvement? And how much longer might it take for him to fully recover?
