I've been dealing with some respiratory issues lately. A few months back, I couldn't get rid of a cough and found out I developed allergies to house dust mites. This progressed into allergic asthma, and the doctor put me on Seretide 250 for a month, which really helped. After finishing it, my asthma got better, but I started waking up with a morning cough. I recently caught the flu, which turned into acute bronchitis. I'm feeling better now after taking antibiotics. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to start another month of Seretide 250. Do you think it's okay?

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been having fever and weakness for the past 15 days. They said she has TB pleural effluent and removed 950 ml of water from her lungs a week ago. The blood tests came back negative for dengue, malaria, and typhoid though. The doctor has given her Pyrazinamide, Rcinex, and Combutol. Another general physician suggested adding Loxof500 for 10 days to help with the fever and weakness. But I'm not sure if that's a good idea because isn't that for non-drug-resistant cases, like if other meds aren't working? Do you think we should just stick with the current medicines for a bit longer? The fever seems to come and go every 6 to 8 hours after taking paracetamol.
Yes,continue same treatment as advised by the physician.

I've been dealing with some allergy problems lately, and when I saw a doctor, they had me do an allergy test and a chest X-ray. They mentioned there might be an infection in my chest. I decided to consult another doctor who requested a Montoux (Mantoux) test, and it came back with a 14mm result. I'm a bit worried about what all this could mean. Could you help me understand these results and the possible implications?
