I'm really anxious because I got a positive result after taking a TB Gold Standard test for my UAE work visa, but I'm not showing any symptoms at all. Could there be any connection between this result and HIV, even though my HIV test came back negative? I'm really worried and need some clarification on what's happening.

View allI've just started taking Fixcom 4 for my PTB, and I'm really confused about how to take it. Am I supposed to take all 3 tablets in the morning, or should it be 3 times a day? Right now, I've just been taking one tablet because I'm not sure about the dosage. Could you help me understand how I should be taking this medication?
For the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) with Fixcom 4, the usual recommended dosage is 3 tablets to be taken once daily. It is important to take all 3 tablets at the same time, rather than spreading them out throughout the day. Therefore, you should consume all 3 tablets of Fixcom 4 together in the morning. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and regimen for the effective treatment of PTB.

I've been dealing with constant wheezing even after using Budamate inhalers at 400 mcg three times a day and taking Montelukast. Sometimes the wheezing is really loud, and other times it's just a bit quieter, but it never completely goes away. It's winter now where I live. My peak flow meter reads 650. I'm really looking for a permanent solution to my wheezing. When might it fully stop?

I've noticed something odd whenever I'm laughing hard, and it always catches me off guard. If I take a deep breath in between laughs, I get this sudden, really heavy pain on the right side of my chest, like around the rib or breastbone area. It sticks around for like 20-25 minutes and then just fades away. What's going on with that? I'm a bit concerned.
