My dad's been dealing with a fever since February 26th, and even though we started the meds I mentioned before, there's been no improvement. I then went to a pulmonary doctor who mentioned an infection after viewing the X-ray. I'm worried because apart from his hemoglobin level being 11, the blood test came back normal. They ruled out typhoid and malaria, so I'm at a bit of a loss here. Can you offer any advice on what steps to take next?

I'm currently being treated for MDR-TB and I've been experiencing some issues with vomiting. I'm worried about my liver health and I'm thinking about stopping moxifloxin and ethanamide for a bit to help my liver recover. Do you think that's a good idea? Are there any risks I should be aware of?

No , do LIVER FUNCTION TEST and consult pulmonologist

I'm really feeling confused and a bit worried. So, here's the thing: I got tested since I had a dry cough. Both the Covid antigen and PCR tests came back negative. But when I went to the hospital for the dry cough, they did something called an HRCT and noted a GGO and something about CORAD5. I'm not sure what this means. Could you explain what it's all about and if it's serious? I'm really not sure what to think here.

it means you have inflammation of lung

I've been dealing with wheezing for 25 years, initially using an Asthalin inhaler and now Foracart 400 rotacaps. I don't take any oral medicines for it. The past couple of weeks, I've started feeling chest tightness, breathlessness, and fatigue. I've also had mild hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes for 15 years. For my BP, I take Teleact AM 40 at night, and for diabetes, I take Amaryl 1 mg twice a day. My diabetes seems to be under control, but I'm worried about what might be causing these new symptoms. Could it be related to my wheezing or COPD, or maybe my high BP, CAD, or diabetes? What do you think?

due to allergy
