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'm worried because when I inhale, it feels like my veins get stuck in my ribs in the back and on my chest. The doctor said this should help with my breathing problem, but my hands are still shaking. What could be causing this? Do you have any advice?

I've been struggling with something, and I hope you can help. About three months ago, I had pneumonia, but I'm fully cured now. However, just after we had a wash in the house a couple of weeks ago, I've developed a cough that's just not letting go. It's been tough to get any sleep because of it. Also, I'm diabetic, so I'm a bit worried about how this might affect my health. What can I do about this? Would love to hear your advice.

I'm having trouble with breathing and a persistent cough, and it sometimes feels like my throat is tight. My doctor checked my chest X-ray and said everything looks fine. I've been taking Montemac FX and Spirodin 650 regularly. Can you help me figure out what might be going on or what else I could do?
