I'm really concerned about my friend who's getting treated for TB. I'm trying to figure out the right diet for him. Can you advise on which fruits and vegetables would be best for someone in his condition? Also, is it safe for him to eat food with spices? I would really appreciate your guidance on this.

I've been really worried. Back in May, I had a severe case of COVID and ended up in the hospital with a CT score of 18. My last CT scan in July showed just a bit of that ground glass opacity left. It's been about six months since I was in the hospital, and my SPO2 is around 98-99 now. Do you think I should get an X-ray or another CT scan again? Or maybe some other tests just to be sure?

Yes, patient is advised tab chlorphenaramine ,orally ,at edtime for 3 days.

I'm currently on my sixth month of TB treatment, but I've been having this cough for about 10-15 days now. I went to the doctor and he said it's nothing serious, just continued with my usual meds like Rcinex. He also gave me something for allergies like Allegra and some antibiotics. But I saw on my X-ray report from the radiologist that it says "bronchiovascular marking is prominent in bilateral lung field" and I'm wondering if I should be worried about this?

yes it is finding of tuberculosis , it will go away after complete treatment of tuberculosis
