I've just finished my TB treatment, but I'm really worried because now I'm noticing blood when I spit. Is this something that can happen after completing TB treatment? Should I be concerned about this?

It's important to take any instance of blood in the mouth seriously, even after completing TB treatment. It could be related to residual lung issues, irritation, or other causes such as a throat infection or bleeding gums. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation and to rule out any complications or new conditions.

I'm 21 and I've had asthma since I was 2. It's not super severe, but I do need to use my Foracort inhaler every day. I also like to work out at the gym. One time I tried whey protein and got hives from it. I'm wondering if taking amino acid supplements could negatively affect my asthma? Would love to know your thoughts.

just avoid it, there are many contents which can cause allergy

I'm noticing blood in my cough every other day, but it's only a small amount, like less than 5ml. I've already checked, and my TB report came back negative, plus my chest X-ray looked normal. Lately, I've been having this pain in my throat too. What could be going on? Should I be worried about something serious?

there might be infection. take one course of antibiotic
