My breathing seems to get really heavy at night, and I've been using Salbair as an inhaler to help. It sometimes results in cough with these thread-like formations. Is it okay to keep using Salbair this way?

It sounds like you're experiencing breathing difficulties at night, and using Salbair (a salbutamol inhaler) can help relieve symptoms of wheezing or shortness of breath. However, if youre noticing persistent symptoms or coughing, its important to consult with a healthcare provider to evaluate your condition, as this could be related to asthma, allergies, or another respiratory issue.

View allI'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).

I've been dealing with some troubling symptoms after testing positive for COVID-19 about 23 days ago. I initially experienced fever, cold, and cough, and took Paracetamol, Azithromycin, Vitamin C, and Zincovit syrup for about 6 days. I also did some Khadi steaming. But now, I'm having a persistent chest pain that's been going on for about 34 days. It hurts more when I take a deep breath. I've always had dust allergies and a wheezing problem, especially in cold climates. Thankfully, I no longer have fever, cough, or cold, and my oxygen saturation is between 95 to 97, but I'm worried because walking for more than 10 minutes is difficult. Could these chest pains be related to my previous conditions, or should I be concerned about something else?

I'm really worried about my son. He's been on TB treatment for 120 days now, but his cough hasn't got any better. How long should it usually take for the cough to improve while on the medication? Do you think he might need additional meds? He's taking akurit 3 right now.
Yes,continue same treatment as advised by the physician.
