My mom's been having this persistent cough, and even though she saw a doctor who prescribed grillentus cough syrup, it hasn't really helped. I'm getting worried since it's not getting better. Do you have any suggestions for another cough syrup or something else we could try?

I'm currently on tuberculosis treatment and taking Rcinex and Pyzina 1750. At night, I take Folfit. I'm wondering if it's okay to switch Folfit to FDson MP Forte since I've noticed they have the same chemical makeup. Can you let me know if that's a safe switch?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been a welder for years, and lately, he's been dealing with a cough and black phlegm for about two weeks now. We got him tested for COVID and it's negative, thank goodness, but I'm starting to wonder if these symptoms might be linked to his work. Could it be some kind of occupational respiratory disorder? What should we do next?

Patient is advised chest x-ray pa view and sputum for AFB bacilli and microscopy tests.
