I'm getting really concerned about my health. Last August, after losing a lot of weight, I tested positive for TB Gold. I tried Ayurvedic treatment and it seemed to help because by 2021 my results were negative. But now, I'm losing weight again and my tests are showing positive for tuberculosis. An ultrasound even showed Kochs tuberculosis. I'm really worried and wondering what medicines I could take for this. Any advice?

View allI'm really worried about my dad, he's 67 and was diagnosed with TB after having pleural effusion in his right lung. He's been prescribed R cinex 600 once a day, pyrazinamide 750 two tablets at once daily, and combutol 1000 once daily by his pulmonologist. I'm just concerned about him taking both of those pyrazinamide tablets at the same time, like the doctor said, especially since he weighs 68 kg. Does this sound right to you?
yes you can take this medicine double the dose

I got diagnosed with Pneumonia after catching the Covid19 virus last April 14, 2021. I've been on medication for weeks and started feeling better. But now, whenever I take a deep breath, I notice some discomfort and a bit of pain in the right side of my chest, near the lower rib cage. I work night shifts and this is starting to worry me because it's impacting my job. Could this still be related to what I went through with Pneumonia, or something else?
