I'm really worried about my mom's cough situation. We've been to the doctor, but nothing seems to be helping her. Whenever she starts coughing, it goes on for a long time and only stops when we nebulize her. It tends to happen around 8 to 8:30 pm and sometimes when she's eating. It feels like no medication is working for her. What could be causing this, and is there anything else we can try to help her?

I'm currently on medications for MDR TB and have been taking them for the past two months. For the last 15 days or so, I've been experiencing a lot of sweating during both the day and night. Is this something that's common with the treatment, or should I be worried about something else?

I came down with covid about 18 days ago and ended up in the hospital for 5 days. I was admitted 4 days after my symptoms started, mostly high fever, though my sp02 was normal. My CRP levels were at 6 when I was admitted but after 5 days of treatment, they dropped to 0.69 so they sent me home. I'm on some meds now, including predmet 8mg, but I stopped taking it since it messed with my blood sugar. My chest CT scan showed 30-40% lung involvement. Should I be worried about developing lung fibrosis in the future?

you shouldn't suddenly stop any medicine. there are least chances of fibrosis
