I'm still experiencing a mild cough even though my TB treatment seemed to have cleared everything up. Is it normal to have lingering symptoms like this after treatment, or should I be concerned about something else going on?

I've been smoke-free for 21 days now after having smoked for 6 years. I was having some breathing issues and getting out of breath, which pushed me to finally quit for good. I'm curious, how does my condition sound to you? And how long do you think it'll take for my lungs to heal?

I'm currently taking ATT, and about ten minutes after taking my Rifampin and Isoniazid or R Cinex this morning, I ended up vomiting. I'm really concerned about whether I need to take another tablet today or just wait until tomorrow. Could this affect my treatment?

You vomited after taking Rifampin+Isoniazid (R Cinex) this morning. It is likely that you did not fully absorb the medication. In this case, it is recommended not to take another dose today. However, if you continue to vomit or experience any other concerning symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I'm concerned about my dad; he had fever and chills yesterday, and his oxygen level was at 94. He's 58 years old. Is a 94 oxygen level considered normal for him?

An oxygen level of 94% is slightly below normal but not immediately concerning. Since your dad has fever and chills, it's important to monitor his oxygen levels and consult a doctor if they drop further or if his symptoms worsen. Prompt evaluation is key, especially given his age.
