Question 1

I'm a 25-year-old NEET PG student, just found out I have MDR TB about three months ago. Some symptoms were mild, but they've got me on this long-term treatment instead of a shorter regimen, they said it's better. So far, I haven't had any problems, it's just routine meds and all. My diet's regular and alright. But now, there's some slight discoloration from the Clofazamine that's starting to show, and it's kind of annoying. Is there a way to tone it down? Also, can this 18-month treatment fully cure MDR TB? My CXR is showing normal, with just a small organized effusion that's under 10cc on the lateral wallhoping it vanishes. What are the chances of a relapse, and any tips to prevent that from happening? This is really on my mind and it's messing with my studies.

Question 2

I've been having this lingering neck pain and a cough that just doesn't seem to go away. It's starting to make me feel really uneasy. On top of that, I've been experiencing ear pain and feeling more tired lately. I had TB in the past, and I'm worried this might be related. Could these symptoms be connected to my previous infection, or is it something else entirely?

Question 3

I'm really worried and looking for some advice. It's been 15 days since I started TB medication, but I still have fever, chills, and this persistent dry cough.
