I've been having some chest pain recently, like a sharp sting right in the center and to the sides. Finished my TB treatment about a year ago, and it's been 9 months since that. Did some tests like sputum, CBNAT, and X-rays; all came back clear. But for the past couple of months, I've had this mucus issue. No coughing really, but if I try to irritate it, some white mucus comes out. Do you think it's possible for TB to be coming back, or could it be something else?

I was diagnosed with TB back in July and accidentally took Akurit 3 instead of Akurit 4. Although I'm on medication, I'm still having mild fevers and don't feel like I'm getting much better. I saw another doctor, and he prescribed Mycurit 4. I'm worried and wondering why I'm still experiencing fever. Could there be something else going on?
take dolo 625 mg for 3 days and continue the other tablets

Is it okay for a 17-year-old boy to use an asthalin inhaler? If I start using it, do I need to carry it everywhere I go? Could it actually lead to more breathing issues after using it? I checked online and found info saying the inhaler works for about 4-6 hours after taking two puffs. Does that mean the breathing problems will definitely return after those hours?
consult pulmonologist he will guide you about good inhalers that u have to take for only one or two times according to your requirements
