I've had asthma since I was a kid, and I used to be on Budecort 200 daily and Asthalin occasionally. But over time, I stopped using inhalers. Now, I find myself getting a wheezing cough maybe five or six times a year. Is it a good idea to start using inhalers again, or should I avoid them? I'm really hesitant to go back on them. What do you think?

View allI'm a bit worried about using an inhaler. If someone uses it once or occasionally, do they end up needing it regularly? I've never used an inhaler before. Usually, my cough stops after I have some tea or take certain medicines, but recently those aren't working. Would it be a good idea to start using an inhaler, or is there a chance it could make my body depend on it?

I've got a positive TB gold test, but my sputum for AFB and TB CBNAAT tests came back negative. I don't even have a cough. The CT scan of my abdomen showed lymph nodes in the right iliac fossa, but my gastro doctor couldn't spot them during a colonoscopy. How do I figure out if the TB is active or latent? Would an FDG whole body PET CT help clarify whether it's active or latent TB? I'm a bit confused and could really use some guidance on what to do next.

I've been dealing with TB for a while now, diagnosed about 3 months back. I'm 24 and after being on meds for a couple of months, my reports came back normal. So, Ive finished 3 months of treatment and I'm taking R Cinex 600 and Benadon 40. My appetite is good, I dont have a cough anymore, and I've even gained some weight back. But I've noticed something weird recently. For about 2 weeks, my body feels hotter in the afternoons after meals and in the evenings. It does cool down by later in the evening, but during those times, I'm feeling warm. When I checked my temperature, it was between 98 to 98.6 orally and around 98.4 axillary in the evenings between 5-6 pm. Is this normal or could it be something to do with the meds?
It is possible that the increase in body temperature you are experiencing in the afternoon and evening could be related to the medications you are taking. However, it is important to monitor this closely and consult with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can continue taking R-Cinex 600 (Rifampicin 450mg + Isoniazid 300mg) as prescribed and Benadon 40 (Pyridoxine 40mg) half tablet to support your treatment for tuberculosis. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical advice for further evaluation and management.
