Question 1

I'm really concerned about my husband's situation. He's 33 and has been dealing with pleural effusion TB. It's been about a month and a half since he started taking the ATS 9 medication, but his chest pain hasn't gotten any better. The current chest X-ray shows almost all the fluid is gone, which is good, but the chest pain hasn't changed since before he began the meds. Should I be worried that the pain is still there, or is there something else we should be doing?

Accepted Answer

take pantop 40g for 3 days if it doesn't resolve do and ECG AND CHEST X Ray then proceed fruther

Question 2

I'm having some trouble understanding what's going on with my current meds. I've had breathing issues for the past couple of days even while just sitting or lying down. My pulmonologist gave me some medications: Budamate 200 transhaler, monteclc zostum o ab flo, and I've been on them for 2 days and do feel a bit better. But the inhaler makes me dizzy and my hands and legs feel weird. It's my first time using an inhaler, so I'm not sure if I should keep using it. The meds are for 5 days, so can I just stop the inhaler after that?

Accepted Answer

u can stop inhaler, use when ever symptoms are exacerbated and continue the medication

Question 3

I've been dealing with Allergic Bronchitis for a few years now, but recently it's been getting really bad. I'm having to use my inhaler and nebulizer every day. It's becoming harder to manage, and I'm also getting constant headaches and having trouble sleeping. Can you suggest what I can do to help with these issues?
