I'm having some trouble with congestion in my chest and hearing noises when I breathe, mostly because of dust, I think. A few days ago, I had a fever, and my back's been hurting, probably because of the breathing issues. Plus, the cough is making the pain in my throat and back worse. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?

I'm dealing with some psychological issues like anxiety and depression for the past 5 years, but I finally managed to overcome them about a year ago. Recently, though, I've been having breathlessness, and my doctor prescribed Medrol 4 mg to take every morning at 10 a.m. However, after taking it, I feel really uncomfortable, tired, and unsatisfied. I'm worried if Medrol is harmful to me, should I continue using it, or maybe stop? What other options are there for addressing my breathing issues?

It's understandable that you're feeling uncomfortable with Medrol (a corticosteroid). While it can help with inflammation, long-term use may cause side effects like tiredness and mood changes. Its important to discuss your concerns with your doctor, as they may suggest alternative treatments or adjust your medication. For your breathing issues, further evaluation might be needed to identify the cause, and your doctor can guide you on the best next steps.

I'm trying to understand my current TB treatment and could use some guidance. I've been dealing with abdomen TB and finished the first two months on Akurit 4 with four tablets a day. Now I'm on Combutol 1 gm and R Cinex 600 mg, along with a multi-vitamin. Initially, I started at 65 kg and now I'm at 68 kg, and I've noticed my appetite has increased, too. The doctor mentioned something about changing to a regimen with a full six months of rifampicin, and I'm a little confused about what that means for relapses and failures. Can you explain how this change might impact my recovery? Also, should I be concerned about the weight gain? I'm 34, by the way.
