Is it okay for my treatment to stop Ethambutol after just two months even though my chest X-ray is better and my doctor said to keep taking Isoniazid, Rifampicin, and Pyrazinamide? I mean, I didn't have positive sputum results or a Mantoux test, but my CT scan showed TB and I had a constant cough for a long time. I'm a bit worried about changing the meds too soon.

So my dad caught covid pneumonia back in February and his CT score was 1925. He was in the ICU for a month and after he got better, his oxygen levels were around 96-97. But now, for the last couple of weeks, he's been dealing with a dry cough and a low-grade fever. We did a covid test and it came back negative, but a urine test showed a bacterial infection. He's on niftran 100mg for that. My concern is that his dry cough has turned into a chesty cough, and for about 45 days, his oxygen levels have been fluctuating between 88-93. With oxygen support, he can maintain 98. The doctor recommended pirfenex200 for fibrosis and I have an X-ray report attached. Is there any medication or treatment you can suggest for the chesty cough?

the tablet given by doctor is good. kindly follow the same medicine

I've been dealing with this leftover issue in my lungs after having the flu for a few days. It's day 5 now, and I feel okay overall, but I have this annoying frog in my throat. It used to be a sore throat, but now it only hurts when I cough. The big concern is when I try to inhale, I can't fully expand my lungs, and I'm wheezing when I breathe out. Could this be acute bronchitis? Do you think I need to see a doctor about it?

Seroflo inhaler sos is advised to the pt for wheezing.
