My mom's 53 and she's got diabetes and this dust allergy thing going on. She randomly got short of breath today and couldn't talk, which panicked us a bit. She usually gets mild asthma when she's near dust, but today it hit out of nowhere with no dust around. After taking Asthalin, she felt better. I'm curious about what could've triggered this sudden asthma attack without being around dust, and is it okay for her to use Asthalin every day?

My wife's been dealing with a persistent cough for about 15 days, and she had a fever at the beginning, but it went away after 3 days. The same thing happened around this time last year, but back then, it was just a cough that stuck around for a month without the fever. We saw a doctor, and he ran some testsCT Chest showed consolidation in the right upper chest, and last years X-ray showed the same thing while the cough was there, but it went back to normal after a month. Her lab results came back with HB10, ESR99, TLC 3800, Platelets 1.1 lakh. Sputum AFB is negative from 3 samples, but the QuantiFeron Gold test is positive. There are no signs of weight loss or appetite changes. The doctor suspects it might be TB and started her on a regimen with Rifampicin, INH, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol, and Pyridoxine. I'm just wondering because this issue occurred last year and now again but not in between. Should we stick with the treatment plan? Any insights would be appreciated.

yes it is better to take tuberculosis medicine, rather than complicating the condition

I've been taking antibiotics for a couple of weeks, and I noticed the lung nodule looks smaller in my recent CT scan from last month. Does this mean it's more likely to be benign rather than malignant? And should I continue with antibiotics to see if the nodule disappears completely? Any idea how long that might take?
