I'm a TB patient and I've been on medication for 66 days now. I'm still getting a fever every evening around 100 to 101 degrees. Could you check my reports and let me know how long this might continue? My chest X-ray is also included.

View allI'm thinking about getting a full body check-up, like from head to toe, and I'm kind of worried because I've been a heavy smoker for a while. What tests should I consider to find out how much damage smoking might have done to my body? Also, does a regular body check-up include smoking-related tests, or should I look for specific ones? Could you also suggest some good hospitals where I could get this done?
The cost of a full-body check-up varies depending on the hospital, but it generally ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 in India. For a smoker, essential tests include lung function tests, chest X-ray, and heart-related tests. Most full-body check-ups cover these, but it's best to confirm with the hospital. I recommend visiting reputed hospitals like Apollo, Fortis, or Medanta for comprehensive screenings.

I've come across my friend's medical report, and I'm a bit puzzled about what it says. It mentions a "Specimen sputum" and that no pathogenic organisms were isolated after 18 to 24 hours of incubation. Could you help me understand what this means exactly? Is it a good sign, or should we be worried about anything?
sputum examination doesn't have any organisms. it means no tuberculosis mainly

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 68 and has been having this pain in her lower breast and rib area. Her CECT chest scan says it's likely COVID pneumonia, but the RTPCR test came back negative. Her CTSI score is 325, and she's got a mild cough, but no fever. Could this still be COVID? What should I do next?
take tab paracetamol, tab acetylcysteine, tab multivitamin and take syrup salbutamol
