I'm really worried because I've been dealing with TB for about a year now and I've been on the medications Rcinex 750mg and Combutal 800mg the whole time. The doctor advised me to stop after 9 months, which I did, but now I'm experiencing a fever and a slow cough again. I had to restart the meds and I'm not seeing any weight gain either, which is concerning. Also, whenever I drink something like Thums Up, my tongue feels really strange and kind of tingly. What should I do about all this? I'm a bit confused and would like some guidance.

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?
give her foods with less spices. give curd and increase the quantity of water consumption

But a different doctor mentioned I should get tested with GMS or PAS stains, to check if it's related to fungi. I'm struggling to find labs that offer these specific tests. Do you think it's necessary to explore this angle, and could you help me figure out where to get these tests done?
