My wife got diagnosed with TB back in March, and we've been on top of her treatment with a combo of meds like rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide according to her weight. Her haemoglobin levels are pretty low at around 8, plus she's dealing with an iron deficiency, so she's taking iron supplements, folic acid, and vitamin C as well. But for the past 10 days, she's been experiencing pain in her back and around her neck, and I'm just really concerned. Could this be something like TB of the spine? If that's what it is, and she's already on TB meds, what do we do next? What other tests should she possibly have aside from the LFT? Would love some guidance on this.

I'm struggling with my asthma and my doctor's advice isn't quite working for me. At first, it was mild so I was using the Duolin 2.5 and Budecort 0.5mg, but things have gotten worse lately. Now, I'm finding myself relying on the nebulizer nearly every day, and it's just so time-consuming. I'm really hoping you can suggest some rotahaler capsule options to try instead. Plus, I'm worried about how severe my asthma has becomeare there any remedies or treatments that might help improve my situation?
Continue same treatment.
