I'm struggling with recurrent tuberculosis, and theyve been giving me streptomycin injections. The pain in my hips where they do the injections is pretty bad. Do you have any suggestions on how I might ease that pain?

For the pain at the injection site, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a cold compress to the area to reduce inflammation and pain. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before taking any medication to ensure it is safe for you.

I'm noticing blood in my cough every other day, but it's only a small amount, like less than 5ml. I've already checked, and my TB report came back negative, plus my chest X-ray looked normal. Lately, I've been having this pain in my throat too. What could be going on? Should I be worried about something serious?

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and my doctor suggested I get a PFT to see if I have asthma. Lately, I've been having a cough or cold that lasts for about 25 days, even though I'm taking Ebast M almost every day. Is there anything I should do to prepare for the PFT? Should I stop taking Ebast M before the test or is it fine to continue with it?

do pft without taking ebast m
