My dad got diagnosed with COPD about three years ago because he used to smoke a lot. The doctors back then gave him these inhalers called Tiova and Foracort to help with it. But ever since, he's been having trouble with urination and gets really bad indigestion. A couple of months ago, he also started getting skin rashes on his hands and wrists. I did some research and found that Tiova has a whole list of side effects, and a lot of them seem to match up with what he's going through right now. Do you think he should stop using these inhalers?

View allI'm a bit worried because I've had this heavy, sticky cough for a month now, and it started right after I had a fever for two days. Whenever I cough, I feel pain in the nerves of my head. I've tried different cough syrups, but nothing seems to help. It's starting to feel quite similar to asthma. I'm 31, and Ive had a chest X-ray, which turned out normal. I've also got my LFT results back, and the numbers are slightly off from the normal rangeconjugated bilirubin is at 0.44, SGOT is 65.7, SGPT is 78, globulin is 4.3, and the AG ratio is 0.79. Should I be concerned about these numbers, and what should my next step be?

I'm really concerned because I recovered from COVID about a month and a half ago, but I've had this persistent cough for the last two months. There's no mucus, flu, or cold symptoms accompanying it. Should I be worried about this lingering cough, and is there something I can do about it?

I'm 29 and had pulmonary TB a while ago. I went through a full year of treatment. It's been about six months now, and I've started experiencing some chest pain on and off. It's really affecting my sleep because the discomfort keeps me up. I don't have a cough or fever, and my x-ray is clear. I'm really confused about what's causing this chest pain. Can you help figure out what's going on?
Hi, it's good to hear that you completed treatment for pulmonary TB. The chest pain you are experiencing could be due to post-tuberculosis pleurisy, which is inflammation of the lining of the lungs. I recommend taking Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day after meals for a few days to help reduce the inflammation and relieve the chest pain. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the painful area for further relief. If the pain persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
