Question 1

Hey, so I kinda messed up my TB meds schedule. I was late by 12 hours twice. First time, I missed my morning dose and ended up taking it at night. Then, the next time, I missed the night dose and took it in the morning. But I've been consistent since, like if I took the missed dose at night, I continued the rest of the doses at night. Is this a problem, or am I still on the right track?

Accepted Answer

Normal, nothing to worry ok.

Question 2

I'm a bit worried because I had a fever of 101 four days ago, but now the fever's gone. However, my COVID test came back positive, and I also had a chest X-ray done. The report mentioned something about bilateral lung fields showing prominent bronchovascular marking. Could you help me understand what this means? Is it something I should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Probable diagnosis is upper respiratory tract infection.Patient is advised tab augmentin duo 625mg thrice daily, for 5 days, tab pan d,orally once daily for 7days ,syrup sucralfate 10ml thrice daily for 7 days.Also avoid spicy and hot items is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I've been having this recurring discomfort in the upper left side of my chest for about 45 days now. It all started after I went for a run, breathing through my mouth in the cold weather, and I felt like I'd somehow injured the tissues on that side of my chest from the pressure. The discomfort seems to come and go, sometimes with clear mucus when I cough. I did have a bout of cough and cold about a month ago, and since then, the discomfort seems to be happening more often. I've already seen a general physician who said not to worry and gave me some meds, but they haven't really helped. There's no history of heart issues or high blood pressure in my family. What do you think could be going on?

Accepted Answer

take tablet mucinac for 5 days

I've been feeling like there's air getting trapped in my chest. It's similar to when you have to cough to clear out mucus, but this is deeper in my chest. I'm really worried it might be thoracic pneumothorax. What do you think I should do?

Ecg and x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
