I'm really worried about my mother. She's been diagnosed with lymph nodes TB after a biopsy, and we saw a specialist at a private ENT hospital. They've prescribed a bunch of medications like AKuriT4, which includes Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol hydrochloride, along with Rablist DSR capsules, Livogen captabs, and Lyorech capsules. I'm just unsure where to start her treatmentshould we stick with the private hospital or go to a DOTS center? Are there any risks associated with either option? I just want to make sure I'm making the best choice for her care.

I've been dealing with asthma for the past seven years, and it used to be more of a winter issue with a cough. But for the last two years, its been bothering me year-round, although I dont have the cough now. I'm having trouble breathing and need to use Asthalin 100 twice daily. What can I do to manage this better? Is there something else I should be considering?

continue the asthaline if symptoms exacerbated
