I'm kind of worried because my asthma symptoms have come back after moving to Chennai. I'm experiencing tiredness, shortness of breath, palpitations, and it's really hard to exercise. I was previously on momeflo and Foracort 200 about 5 years ago for a year and it helped keep things in control. Should I consider restarting these medications, or is there something else I should try? What would you suggest?

I've been dealing with a cough for about a week now, and it's starting to make it hard for me to breathe. Do you have any advice on what I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a respiratory infection. I recommend taking Robitussin or Mucinex to help relieve your cough and improve your breathing. These medications can help loosen mucus and make coughing more productive. Additionally, you may consider using a humidifier at home to help ease your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you will need a strong course of antibiotics, for which your need to go to the hospital.

I'm really worried about my friend. Theyve had this cough for about a month now, but no fever. We got some test results back, and one of them says "sputum AFB stain positive" with "acid-fast bacilli seen," while the other test indicates "no pathogenic organisms were isolated after 18-24 hours of incubation." I'm confused about whether my friend actually has TB or not. Could you help me understand what these results mean?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
