I've got this question about a recent visit to a male doctor for my cough. He began the exam by touching above my left breast with the stethoscope, then moved beneath it, right on the breast, not where the lungs are. He repeated the same steps on my right breast. This kind of threw me off. Is that a standard part of examining a cough? I'm hesitant to accuse anyone without knowing if that was necessary, so I'd appreciate some clarity on this.

View allI'm 27 and have been on TB treatment for a couple of months now. It all started with lymph nodes popping up in my neck, and tests showed it was Koch's. They gave me AKt 4, but it caused skin rashes and headaches, so I had to stay in the hospital for about 15 days. Now I'm on COMBUNEX 800, CLARIBID 250, and Ambistryn injections. I've been on this treatment for about 45 days already, and I'm wondering if 60 injections will be enough. What should I expect next in this treatment process?
It's common to experience side effects like skin rashes and headaches during tuberculosis (TB) treatment, especially in the initial phase. The number of injections required can vary based on your individual response to treatment, but 60 injections might be sufficient if prescribed by your physician. It's important to follow up with your doctor to monitor progress and address any concerns regarding side effects or treatment adjustments.

I'm really loving the benefits of Amla juice for my skin and hair, but I've been having some trouble breathing at night, which is affecting my sleep. I saw a local doctor who suggested taking Azithromycin 500mg at night and advised stopping all sour foods and Amla juice. Is there any way I can address the breathing issue without having to give up Amla juice? It's been really effective for me and I don't want to stop if possible.
Continue all the medications.Also seroflo rotahaler sos is advised to the patient during breathing difficulty.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on the AKT4 kit for her pulmonary TB, and ever since she started the medicine, she's been feeling completely exhausted, both morning and night. She's also experiencing dizziness and itchy skin at night, which is unusual for her. These symptoms only appeared after she began her treatment. Could these be side effects from the TB medication? Should we consider adjusting her dosage? She also has high blood pressure, but no diabetes. What do you think we should do?
give her high nutritious food
