I've been dealing with tuberculosis for a month now and have been on medication since February 4, 2017. I quit my job to rest and recover, but I'm now considering getting back to work. Is it safe for me to go back now, or is there still a risk of spreading the infection? Plus, I've been having a mild fever with chills about once a weekis that something to worry about? Could you offer some advice on what I should do?

I'm using a Philips Dream Station Auto CPAP machine with an oronasal mask for almost a year now because I have obstructive sleep apnea with an AHI of 31.4. I've been hearing about this black fungus issue caused by prolonged mask use and I'm not sure if I should keep using it. I was diagnosed with Covid back in August 2020, but I was asymptomatic and recovered fine. Can you advise me on whether I should continue using the CPAP machine right now?

you can minimize your risks by maintaining cpap regularly, use distilled water in your humidifier
