Question

I've been using Foracort 200 synchrobreathe, taking 2 puffs a day for the past couple of months. Lately, I've started experiencing nasal congestion and have noticed I'm not as hungry as before. I'm wondering if this could be a side effect of Foracort 200. Can you shed some light on this?

Question

Hey, I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with type 2 diabetes for a while now and recently, about 3 months back, he got diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. He didn't tell anyone in our family because he thought it was just a regular cough and cold. But when things didn't get better, we had him tested, and it turned out to be TB. The chest X-ray and CT scan show a significant infection in both his lungs, with consolidation and cavitation, but thankfully no pleural or pericardial effusion. Now he's also got pneumonia because of all this. He's been on DOTS treatment for the last 10 days, but he's still coughing up phlegm. I'm anxious to know when we might start seeing some improvement in his condition. Could you shed some light on this?

Question

I'm trying to understand what "prominent broncho vascular marking" means in my X-ray report. Could you help explain what this indicates? I'm a bit anxious about what it might mean for my health.
