I'm struggling with recurrent tuberculosis, and theyve been giving me streptomycin injections. The pain in my hips where they do the injections is pretty bad. Do you have any suggestions on how I might ease that pain?

For the pain at the injection site, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a cold compress to the area to reduce inflammation and pain. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before taking any medication to ensure it is safe for you.

My wife got diagnosed with TB back in March, and we've been on top of her treatment with a combo of meds like rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide according to her weight. Her haemoglobin levels are pretty low at around 8, plus she's dealing with an iron deficiency, so she's taking iron supplements, folic acid, and vitamin C as well. But for the past 10 days, she's been experiencing pain in her back and around her neck, and I'm just really concerned. Could this be something like TB of the spine? If that's what it is, and she's already on TB meds, what do we do next? What other tests should she possibly have aside from the LFT? Would love some guidance on this.

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's 69 and her oxygen levels are between 92 and 94. She had some mild chest congestion before, and the doctor gave her Azee 500 to take for five days. Is her low oxygen something we should be worried about?

no, it might due to positional variation
