Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

take tablet b complex for 15 days, daily once

Question 2

I'm really worried. I've been having a constant temperature between 99.2 and 99.6 for over a month and a half now. We did all the tests like blood and urine cultures and they came back negative. I've taken the usual antibiotics but they didn't help. My doctor suggested a chest CT and now there's a suspicion of TB. He mentioned getting a TB test, but I don't have any cough or cold, so we can't do a sputum test. Could you take a look at the CT scan and let me know if it really looks like TB? Also, are there any other confirmatory tests we can do for TB apart from the sputum test?

Accepted Answer

CBNAAT  is the confirmatory test for tuberculosis

Question 3

I'm experiencing tightness in my chest and it's becoming hard to breathe. I've been diagnosed with allergic bronchitis and usually use my asthalin inhaler, but it's not providing much relief this time. My nose feels sort of blocked, though I don't have any other symptoms like a cough or cold. I've tried taking Allegra too, but the tightness in my chest just won't go away. What could be going on?
