Question 1

I've been feeling really out of breath at night and I'm dealing with a chest infection and a constant cough. I'm wondering if taking the tablet Theoasthalin would help with my symptoms. Can you give me some advice on whether it's a good idea to try it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, continue same treatment.

Question 2

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing. It feels like my chest is blocked, and there's an unwanted cough that's causing my lungs to feel like they're blocked too. It's making it really hard to run or even catch my breath sometimes. Could this be a chest infection or something else? What can I do to help clear this up?

Accepted Answer

Visit your Physician for appropriate management

Question 3

I'm a bit anxious after having been on AKT3 for 4 months since May 8, 2017. I'm really hoping to hear that this treatment has worked and the TB is gone for good. How will I know if my body is free from TB now? Are there any specific signs or tests that can confirm it's completely eliminated?

Possible Diagnosis*

1. *Epididymitis*: Inflammation of the epididymis, a tube behind the testicle that stores sperm. Masturbation can cause minor trauma, leading to inflammation.
2. *Testicular strain*: Overstretching or minor injury to the testicular tissues, possibly due to masturbation or tight clothing.

*Treatment Advice*

1. *Rest and relaxation*: Avoid strenuous activities, tight clothing, and prolonged sitting.
2. *Cold compress*: Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce pain and inflammation.
3. *Pain relief*: Take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) as directed.
4. *Elevate the scrotum*: When sitting or lying down, elevate the scrotum to reduce swelling and discomfort.
5. *Practice good hygiene*: Keep the genital area clean and dry to prevent infection.
6. *Avoid masturbation*: Refrain from masturbation for a few weeks to allow the affected area to heal.

*When to Seek Medical Attention*

1. *Severe pain*: If the pain becomes unbearable or is accompanied by vomiting, fever, or chills.
2. *Swelling or redness*: If the scrotum becomes severely swollen, red, or warm to the touch.
3. *Discharge or bleeding*: If you notice unusual discharge or bleeding from the penis or scrotum.
