Question

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?

Question

I'm just a bit worried about my dad. He was positive for covid19 on December 3rd but thankfully tested negative by the 20th. Even though he's active and not complaining much, we decided to do a HRCT chest scan to be cautious. The results showed subpleural ground glass opacities in his bilateral lower lung lobes with a CT Severity Score of 0625 and Corads 4. He's been taking B complex, Vitamin C, and Vit D 60k for the next 20 days. Should we consider any other medications for him? Just trying to ensure we're not overlooking anything important.

Question

I've been feeling really unwell since May. It started with mild pain in the upper center of my chest, then turned into a high fever. By the 17th, I lost my taste and smell. Soon after, I noticed mild chest pain right in the center along with shortness of breath, but these weren't everyday occurrences. Strangely enough, these symptoms appeared again about 34 days later, and now they're back from June 23. This time, the pain has shifted a bit to the left and I'm having trouble breathing. Is this something serious? Could you please give me some advice?

Question

I'm trying to figure out the difference between an MDI inhaler and an MDI transhaler. I know transhalers are used with transpacers, but is there anything else that sets them apart? Like, are there differences in how they work, how effective they are, or even side effects? I'd love to get some insight on this.
