Question 1

I'm dealing with a viral flu and it's been about two days now. I visited my doctor today, and he mentioned I've got a bit of wheezing on top of everything. He suggested I take Pulmoclear tablets twice daily, once in the morning and once at night, for a week, alongside the antibiotics I'm already on. I've never taken Pulmoclear before and it's my first time experiencing wheezing. Is this medication safe for me? I'm pretty anxious about trying something new and don't know how my body will react or if it's going to work well for me. Could you give me some advice?

Accepted Answer

Continue tab.pulmoclear oraly ,twice daily for 5 days.Rest continue all the medications.

Question 2

I'm a bit anxious after having been on AKT3 for 4 months since May 8, 2017. I'm really hoping to hear that this treatment has worked and the TB is gone for good. How will I know if my body is free from TB now? Are there any specific signs or tests that can confirm it's completely eliminated?

Possible Diagnosis*

1. *Epididymitis*: Inflammation of the epididymis, a tube behind the testicle that stores sperm. Masturbation can cause minor trauma, leading to inflammation.
2. *Testicular strain*: Overstretching or minor injury to the testicular tissues, possibly due to masturbation or tight clothing.

*Treatment Advice*

1. *Rest and relaxation*: Avoid strenuous activities, tight clothing, and prolonged sitting.
2. *Cold compress*: Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce pain and inflammation.
3. *Pain relief*: Take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) as directed.
4. *Elevate the scrotum*: When sitting or lying down, elevate the scrotum to reduce swelling and discomfort.
5. *Practice good hygiene*: Keep the genital area clean and dry to prevent infection.
6. *Avoid masturbation*: Refrain from masturbation for a few weeks to allow the affected area to heal.

*When to Seek Medical Attention*

1. *Severe pain*: If the pain becomes unbearable or is accompanied by vomiting, fever, or chills.
2. *Swelling or redness*: If the scrotum becomes severely swollen, red, or warm to the touch.
3. *Discharge or bleeding*: If you notice unusual discharge or bleeding from the penis or scrotum.
4. *Fever*: If you experience a fever over 101.5F (38.6C).

Question 3

I recently tested positive and went through home quarantine, and I'm fully recovered now. I'm feeling normal overall, but I've noticed something a bit strange. Sometimes I see black particles in my phlegm, not entirely black, just some black bits mixed in. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it not a big deal?
