Question 2

Hey, my mom's 45 and she's had TB twice, in 2013 and 2014. She followed the anti-TB schedule, but her coughing just won't stop, and she gets colds super easily. She's been feeling pretty unwell, especially after bleeding episodes, which have happened four times. Sometimes it's a lot of blood, other times, just a bit. We got an X-ray done and visited a doctor who said there's nothing to worry about, but I'm still really concerned. The doctor prescribed some pneumonia meds, but I'm anxious to know how long it'll take for her to fully recover. Any advice or insights would be a big help.

Accepted Answer

Usually it takes around 6-9 months for a tb patient to recover.Rest continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

Question 3

I'm feeling really breathless for the past 5 days, but I don't have any cough or flu symptoms. I've tried taking anti-allergic and anti-acidic nasal sprays, and Ive been using steam. I've also taken Novacef 500, Xyxal M, and Sompraz 40. I've got some relief, but it's not completely better. Could you give me some advice on what else I might try?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .

I'm finding it hard to breathe or feeling uneasy while breathing during the night, especially between 4 AM to 6 AM, and it's been going on for about four months. I also notice a wheezing sound when I breathe. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?

do chest x ray and pulmonary function test
