Question 1

My wife has been dealing with Bronchitis, and it's been tough for her, especially with those long, sleepless nights from all the coughing. I'm not quite sure, but I suspect it's the acute type. I really want to get it completely sorted out. Could you help us figure out what the best steps might be?

Question 2

I've been a bit worried lately. I tested positive for COVID on May 2, 2021, and thankfully, it was a mild case with my oxygen levels staying normal. But now, two months later, I'm noticing something odd. When I'm just sitting around, my oxygen level is usually at 97 or 96, which is okay, I guess. But when I start moving around, like climbing stairs or even just taking a walk, it drops to 92 or 93. I'm wondering why this happens? Should I be concerned?

Question 3

I'm a 25-year-old NEET PG student, just found out I have MDR TB about three months ago. Some symptoms were mild, but they've got me on this long-term treatment instead of a shorter regimen, they said it's better. So far, I haven't had any problems, it's just routine meds and all. My diet's regular and alright. But now, there's some slight discoloration from the Clofazamine that's starting to show, and it's kind of annoying. Is there a way to tone it down? Also, can this 18-month treatment fully cure MDR TB? My CXR is showing normal, with just a small organized effusion that's under 10cc on the lateral wallhoping it vanishes. What are the chances of a relapse, and any tips to prevent that from happening? This is really on my mind and it's messing with my studies.
