I'm really worried about my mom's lymph nodes TB treatment. I went to two different private hospitals and got two kinds of prescriptions. One doctor told me to give her Akurit 4, two tablets a day, and the other suggested AKT 4. Her weight is 63 kg, and I've read that TB medicine doses depend on weight. When I looked into it, it seems like AKT 4 suits her weight better than Akurit 4, which seems too low. Now I'm confused about which one would be more effective. Should I consider going to a government hospital for DOTS treatment instead? Is DOTS better, or should we stick with private care? Any advice would be much appreciated.

I've been dealing with bronchial asthma since 2015, and usually, I just take my rotacapsules when it's hard to breathe. I don't get serious attacks, but there's often a wheezing sound, and breathing gets tough sometimes. Lately, though, I've noticed it's getting worse after meals. My stomach feels tight, and I've had to use my MAXIFLOW 250mg rotacapsules more frequently. Could you help me understand what's going on and how I can manage this better? Are there specific things I should be eating or avoiding to help with this issue?
