Ive been dealing with a cough and cold for a couple of weeks now, and it's been tough because I'm also having trouble breathing. I got my blood work done and found out my ESR is 30 and AEC is 480. My general practitioner suggested I take Eofil once at night for 25 days, and I've already taken it for 5 days. Im still experiencing breathing difficulties, thoughsome days are better, but others are really tough. Could you give me some advice on what I should do next?

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed strings of blood clots in my sputum a few times. It first happened twice back in September 2019, then once in October 2019, and now it's happened 45 times recently. I've attached a photo for reference. Can you share your thoughts on this?

I've recently had a punctured and collapsed lung from a stab wound, and it's only been a week since I was discharged from the hospital. I know I shouldn't smoke since it might collapse my lung again or cause breathing issues. But I've noticed I'm coughing up a bit of blood lately. I started vaping as an alternative and am wondering if that's causing the blood in my cough. Could vaping be the reason, or is this something else I should be worried about?

I've been dealing with TB and started my meds back on March 13, 2018. At the beginning, my fever was really high, around 103, but now it's gone down to about 99 to 100. I'm wondering, when can I expect this fever to finally go away?

It's great that your fever has reduced. Typically, it can take a few weeks for the fever to completely subside during TB treatment, but it varies from person to person. Keep monitoring your temperature, and if it persists or worsens, be sure to consult your doctor.
