I'm really concerned about my momshe's 64 and dealing with CKD stage 2. We've just found out she has post-COVID fibrosis. Is there any way to cure or reverse it? And are there specific anti-fibrotic meds she can eat? What kind of symptoms should we be on the lookout for? Please let me know.

I've been smoking for the last couple of years but stopped after getting a bad cold recently. Since then, I've been coughing a lot, and I'm a bit worried because the mucus changed from yellow to white. Is that normal? I've also been gargling and doing some hot water breathing to help my throat. Should I be concerned about anything else?

I'm currently dealing with extra pulmonary tuberculosis and have developed left pleural effusion. I'm now in the fourth month of my continuous phase of ATT. These days, I'm taking Macox plus 600 and Ecox 1000mg tablets daily. I'm wondering, is it okay to continue with these medications for the rest of the ATT course? Would really appreciate your guidance on this!

yes you should continue those medications
