I'm really concerned about my husband's situation. He's 33 and has been dealing with pleural effusion TB. It's been about a month and a half since he started taking the ATS 9 medication, but his chest pain hasn't gotten any better. The current chest X-ray shows almost all the fluid is gone, which is good, but the chest pain hasn't changed since before he began the meds. Should I be worried that the pain is still there, or is there something else we should be doing?

View allI'm feeling really anxious about some symptoms I've been experiencing. Lately, I've noticed I'm short of breath, especially when I'm trying to sleep. It's been accompanied by a whizzing sound, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Plus, I've realized that one of my ankles is swollen on the inside. Could these things be related? What might be going on?

I've been dealing with this annoying issue for quite a while now. Whenever I go to bed and try to fall asleep, my throat starts itching and I begin coughing. It's definitely a dry cough. What's weird is that as soon as I stop trying to sleep, the coughing just goes away. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
Expectations After Medication Insertion* 1. *Bleeding*: You can expect bleeding to start within 2-7 days after the medication insertion. However, this timeframe may vary. 2. *Expulsion of Retained Products*: The retained products (measuring 9cc) may be expelled during the first menstrual cycle, but it's not guaranteed. *Factors Influencing Expulsion* 1. *Size of Retained Products*: The size of the retained products (9cc) is relatively small, which increases the likelihood of natural expulsion. 2. *Effectiveness of Medication*: The medication inserted by your doctor is designed to help expel the retained products. Its effectiveness may influence the timing and success of expulsion. *Monitoring and Follow-up* 1. *Track Your Symptoms*: Keep a record of your bleeding, cramping, and any other symptoms. 2. *Follow-up Appointment*: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to assess the progress and determine if further intervention is needed.

My mom's had these symptoms like fever, cough, cold, and just feeling off for about a week now. The first doctor's tests were kind of inconclusive about whether it was TB or not. So, they sent her to another hospital where they did a bunch of more thorough tests like CT scans and skin tests and said she doesn't have TB. She's feeling better overall, but I'm still worried because she's still coughing. She did have a cough before that usually gets worse in winter and she's quite sensitive to the cold. My family thinks her coughing now is normal, but I'm not so sure. What do you think? Would love your guidance on this!
