Question 1

I'm having wheezing for the past couple of days, mostly at night and not so much during the day. My doctor told me to use one puff at night an hour before I go to sleep. I'm wondering if I should gargle my throat right after using the inhaler, or if there's anything else I should be doing. Also, if I stop using the inhaler after 15 days, could the wheezing come back?

Question 3

I've been diagnosed with tuberculosis and they've also found fibrotic band opacities in my lungs. Is this the same as lung fibrosis, and if so, does it get worse over time? I'm really freaking out about this and would appreciate any insights.

Accepted Answer

Tuberculosis and fibrotic band opacities are not the same as lung fibrosis, although they can be related. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, while fibrotic band opacities are a type of scarring that can occur in the lungs due to various reasons, including infections like tuberculosis. Lung fibrosis, on the other hand, is a specific condition characterized by progressive scarring of the lung tissue. In your case, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because after getting my x-ray and CT report at the civil hospital, the doctor mentioned something about tuberculosis. Could you explain what this means for me and what I should do next?
