My mom just came home after being in the hospital for 6 days because of pneumonia. Her chest is still a bit congested. I'm really worried and would love to know what we should be doing to help her get completely better. Are there any specific things we should keep in mind for her recovery? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

View allI was wondering how long a fever usually lasts after starting treatment for TB. My wife began her treatment with AKT 4 on March 2, 2017, but she's still getting fevers up to 101 once a day. Is this normal? How long does it typically take for the fever to subside after starting treatment?
it might take 3-4 hours after treatment started

What are the 4 types of hypoxia?
The four types are as follows: (1) the hypoxemic type, in which the oxygen pressure in the blood going to the tissues is too low to saturate the hemoglobin. (2) the anemic type, in which the amount of functional hemoglobin is too small, and hence the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen is too low. (3) the stagnant type, in which the blood is or may be normal but the flow of blood to the tissues is reduced or unevenly distributed. (4) the histotoxic type, in which the tissue cells are poisoned and are therefore unable to make proper use of oxygen.

I've been noticing these weird gelatin-like balls whenever I cough, and they come in different colors. I'm also experiencing some chest tightness and wheezing. What could be causing this, and is it something serious I should be worried about?
Coughing up clear jelly balls may be caused by a buildup of mucus in the airways. This may occur due to allergies or infections such as common colds or flu, accompanied with dehydration. If symptoms continue for more than a few weeks, it is best to contact a doctor to find out the cause and get treatment. If the color of the mucus resembles yellow or greenish mucus, it may be indicative of a bacterial infection, which may require antibiotic therapy.
