I'm really worried about my husband. He's been dealing with cold and cough for the last few days and is on medication, but he's passed out twice while coughing. Is this something to be concerned about? Is it curable? I'm hoping it's not something serious or life-threatening. What should we do?

I've been dealing with asthma and allergic rhinitis since I was a kid. Lately, I've noticed that every evening I get this wheezing sound, and while using the asthalin or Foracort inhaler helps, it just flares up again after a few hours. I'm also on Montelukast and Fexofenadine, and sometimes Levocetrizine before bed. The rhinitis seems to have gotten worse in the past few weeks, and I've started sweating more than usual. Could you suggest what might be going on or what I should do next?

take proper scheduled treatment for asthma like inhalers and steroids

My dad's been dealing with night fevers and body aches for over a month now, like 40 days, and we've done all sorts of tests but haven't found anything concrete. His chest X-ray didn't show much, and the sputum report came back normal. The doctor mentioned that in the second stage of TB, changes can be subtle and hard to catch on X-rays and sputum tests, so he started the second line of TB drugs based on a CECT Scan. I've consulted a few other doctors, and after looking at the report and scan, they're suggesting it might be a reactivation of tuberculosis. Could you take a look at this and tell me if this report is solid enough to confirm TB?

yes through cect lung ,we can detect tuberculosis
