My wife is 26 and got COVID-19 back in September, which later led to pneumonia. The pneumonia just wouldn't go away, and after some tests, we found out it's actually Pulmonary TB. She's been on a 6-month medication course for the past 3 months. But she's so weak all the time and vomits a lot, like, almost every time she eats, she throws up in about 30 minutes. How long do you think this will last? It's honestly really worrying.

View allI'm really worried about my brother who's been covid positive for a week now. He had a fever for the first few days, but now that's gone and he's got this dry cough. We got some tests done and I've got the chest X-ray results, but the doctor can only see us next Sunday and today is Thursday. The report mentions something about inhomogeneous opacities at both mid and lower zones, and it also says there's a bilateral pulmonary inflammatory lesion. Should we be waiting till Sunday to see our doctor or do you think it's better to check with another doctor sooner? Id really appreciate your advice on what this might mean and how to proceed.
Tab Azithromycin 500mg orally,once daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.Also tab paracetamol 500mg sos for fever,tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days, syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice daily for 5 days and steam inhalation is advised to the patient.

My dad's been dealing with Pulmonary TB, and the doctor put him on Forecox tablets. He's taking two a day for 70 days, and he's already 40 days in. Lately, he's been complaining about pain in his knees and hands. Could this be a side effect? Also, what kind of diet should he be on, and are there any specific precautions he needs to follow?

I'm taking gastric tablets like Rabiros IT, and I'm also on tuberculosis medication such as RCinex, Combutol, and Pyzina. I'm a bit worried about whether the gastric tablets will affect my TB treatment. Can they interfere with each other?
no
