I've been having a fever, sweet-tasting sputum, and some bowel issues lately. I'm currently taking medication for tuberculosis every day and haven't had any side effects, but now these symptoms have cropped up over the past week. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I've been dealing with post-COVID issues and I'm really worried. Had COVID about six weeks ago, recovered at home, but after 15 days started having breathing difficulties and fatigue. The first doctor gave me the Foracart inhaler, but it caused a throat infection, so I stopped and took antibiotics instead. Then I got really bad allergy symptoms like sneezing and a runny nose, and my shortness of breath got worse. I changed doctors and they tested my IGe and PFT. The PFT came back normal, but my IGe is 3050. I was given Momeflo Montek BL for a month. Should I be concerned about this? And how long might it take for me to start feeling better?

take the medicine atleast for 10 to 15 days.avoid allergens like dust

I'm dealing with a cold that originally started in my sinuses, but now it's moved down to my chest. I've got a lot of chest congestion and it's getting hard to breathe at times. I'm constantly coughing up phlegm, and sometimes I just can't seem to get relief from the coughing. What can I do to alleviate these symptoms?

I recommend taking an over-the-counter medication like Mucinex DM (guaifenesindextromethorphan) to help with chest congestion and to loosen mucus. The usual dosage is 1-2 tablets every 12 hours. Additionally, you can try using a humidifier to help with breathing and staying hydrated to help loosen the mucus. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I'm worried because when I inhale, it feels like my veins get stuck in my ribs in the back and on my chest. The doctor said this should help with my breathing problem, but my hands are still shaking. What could be causing this? Do you have any advice?
