I've been dealing with a fever for about six weeks now. My doctor did a Mantoux test, which came back positive, and I started treatment for TB. The fever went away after four days, but now it's back. It spikes to 102 degrees around 3 PM and again after midnight. Is this something normal during TB treatment, or should I be concerned about it?

I've been dealing with bronchitis and it's really getting to me. Every time I see a doctor, it seems to help a little but then in just a week, I'm back to having a cough and feeling breathless again. It's really taking a toll on me. What could be causing these recurring symptoms? Is there something else I should be doing or asking my doctor about?

tab amoxicillin for 5 days and tab acetylcysteine for 3 days

My wife has been dealing with asthma for the past six months, and we're really worried about whether she can completely recover from it. Is there a chance that asthma can be fully eliminated from her body?

Asthma is a chronic condition that can be managed but not completely cured. With proper treatment and management, your wife can control her symptoms and lead a normal life. Medications such as inhalers like Ventolin (albuterol) for acute attacks and maintenance inhalers like Flovent (fluticasone) can help control asthma symptoms. It is important for her to follow her doctor's advice, avoid triggers, and lead a healthy lifestyle to manage her asthma effectively.
