I've been dealing with TB for a while now, diagnosed about 3 months back. I'm 24 and after being on meds for a couple of months, my reports came back normal. So, Ive finished 3 months of treatment and I'm taking R Cinex 600 and Benadon 40. My appetite is good, I dont have a cough anymore, and I've even gained some weight back. But I've noticed something weird recently. For about 2 weeks, my body feels hotter in the afternoons after meals and in the evenings. It does cool down by later in the evening, but during those times, I'm feeling warm. When I checked my temperature, it was between 98 to 98.6 orally and around 98.4 axillary in the evenings between 5-6 pm. Is this normal or could it be something to do with the meds?

It is possible that the increase in body temperature you are experiencing in the afternoon and evening could be related to the medications you are taking. However, it is important to monitor this closely and consult with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can continue taking R-Cinex 600 (Rifampicin 450mg + Isoniazid 300mg) as prescribed and Benadon 40 (Pyridoxine 40mg) half tablet to support your treatment for tuberculosis. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical advice for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been dealing with this issue of constant phlegm, and it's especially bad in the summer. Today, it just keeps coming up, and when I woke up, it felt like my throat was completely covered. I had to clear it out right away. What could be causing this?

My dad has been Covid positive for about three weeks now, and he only had mild symptoms so far. But his recent X-ray shows a small pneumonic patch in the right mid and both lower zones. The doctor is suggesting a three-day injection course. Does this sound serious given his Covid status? His oxygen levels are still normal, so Im wondering if there's a specific treatment we should consider.
the medication given by doctor is sufficient.

Hey, my mom's 45 and she's had TB twice, in 2013 and 2014. She followed the anti-TB schedule, but her coughing just won't stop, and she gets colds super easily. She's been feeling pretty unwell, especially after bleeding episodes, which have happened four times. Sometimes it's a lot of blood, other times, just a bit. We got an X-ray done and visited a doctor who said there's nothing to worry about, but I'm still really concerned. The doctor prescribed some pneumonia meds, but I'm anxious to know how long it'll take for her to fully recover. Any advice or insights would be a big help.
Usually it takes around 6-9 months for a tb patient to recover.Rest continue all the medications as advised by the physician.
