I'm really worried about how my body is reacting to the ATT medications. It seems like none of the four drugs are tolerable, whether I take them alone or together. I've started getting ulcers in my mouth and throat, and I'm constantly feeling weak and tired. Could you please advise on how I can manage these side effects or if there are any alternative treatments I should consider?

I'm really worried about my brother. He's a regular smoker and has been having a morning cough, occasional breathing issues, and sometimes even chest pain. He recently got some test results back, and it seems like his hemoglobin is high, his PCV is at the upper limit, and his vitamin D is low. I'm not sure what these mean or what steps he should take next?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been coughing since December and I sent his CT scan and FNAC test reports. The FNAC report mentions tuberculosis and sarcoidosis, but no AFB was found. The doctor said it's tuberculosis and prescribed Akurit4, some Benadon, and the Maxiflo inhaler. But his sputum and blood tests didn't show TB. Could it really be tuberculosis? I'm really concerned and was hoping to get some advice.

since fnac has confirmed, its tuberculosis only
