I'm currently being treated for MDR-TB and I've been experiencing some issues with vomiting. I'm worried about my liver health and I'm thinking about stopping moxifloxin and ethanamide for a bit to help my liver recover. Do you think that's a good idea? Are there any risks I should be aware of?

No , do LIVER FUNCTION TEST and consult pulmonologist

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 72, almost 76, and he's been having breathing issues. It's getting to the point where he can't even walk 10 meters without struggling. I think it's causing excess CO2 in his body and lower oxygen levels. Plus, he's finding it really hard to use his BiPAP machine, so he's not using it as much. He's also on a nebulizer. What should we do in this situation?

use nebulizer and steam inhalation
