I'm hearing a whistling sound when I breathe out, especially in the mornings. Coughing happens too, but it's pretty rare. I've been taking monticope and using an aerocort inhaler for relief when the issues kick in. Can you help me understand why this is happening and if there's anything else I should be doing about it?

  1. Possible Causes
    a. The whistling sound, known as wheezing, may indicate airway constriction, often seen in asthma or COPD.
    b. Morning symptoms suggest possible nocturnal asthma or environmental triggers.

  2. Current Treatment
    a. Monticope (montelukast and levocetirizine) helps with allergic symptoms.
    b. Aerocort inhaler (beclomethasone and formoterol) provides relief by reducing inflammation and opening airways.

  3. Recommendations
    a. Continue prescribed medications as directed.
    b. Monitor symptoms and note any triggers or patterns.
    c. Consult a healthcare provider for a review of your treatment plan and consider spirometry for lung function assessment.
    d. Avoid known allergens and irritants, and maintain a clean environment to reduce symptoms.

Is it normal to feel the same pain I had before my thoracentesis, even though it's been 36 hours since it was done? I'm worried the pleural fluid might have come back. Could tuberculosis be causing this effusion? The pain is really bothering me, and I'm waiting on my report, which won't be ready until next week. Can you give me some advice in the meantime?

it can recur in some condition

I've been on TB medication for a month now and haven't noticed any side effects like vomiting or jaundice. Is it normal not to experience side effects with TB medications? Last year, when I had extrapulmonary lymph node TB, I experienced a lot of side effects and the treatment lasted over nine months. My pulmonologist confirmed it was cured, but now I've had upper abdomen pain for the last four months. An abdomen USG showed a mass lesion in the retro peritoneal region, and after a CT scan of my thorax and full abdomen, it showed collapsed lungs and abdominal adenopathy. I've started taking RHE FD tablets again, but I'm confused if it's really TB this time since I don't have any symptoms or side effects from the medication. Could it be something else? What do you suggest I do?

your body mght be adopted to those medicines, so you are not having any side efects
