I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with a dry cough for about five days now and she's on Doxofylline tablets and Forcef 500. The thing is, she just can't seem to eat anything because it makes her feel nauseous, and she's getting so weak. Ive heard paneer might be okay to give her, but Im not sure what foods are best right now. Could you help me figure out what she should be eating?

View allI've just had a chest X-ray, and while most of it looks good, there's this one finding that says "tenting of the left diaphragm grade 1.1." What exactly does that mean? Is it something I should be worried about health-wise? Could there be a link to my heart or any other reasons for this? What kind of symptoms should I keep an eye out for?

I've been dealing with a fever for about six weeks now. My doctor did a Mantoux test, which came back positive, and I started treatment for TB. The fever went away after four days, but now it's back. It spikes to 102 degrees around 3 PM and again after midnight. Is this something normal during TB treatment, or should I be concerned about it?

I've been dealing with constant wheezing even after using Budamate inhalers at 400 mcg three times a day and taking Montelukast. Sometimes the wheezing is really loud, and other times it's just a bit quieter, but it never completely goes away. It's winter now where I live. My peak flow meter reads 650. I'm really looking for a permanent solution to my wheezing. When might it fully stop?
take Advair Diskus
