My wife is in her last week of the second trimester and she's been really under the weather with a bad cold and fever over the past couple of days. Initially, she was taking Calpol 650mg twice a day, Augmentin 625 three times a day, Asthakind DX syrup three times a day, and Teczine once a day. Thankfully, the fever's gone now, but the cold has gotten worse, and our physician thinks it might be pneumonia, so he sent us to a pulmonologist. Today, the pulmonologist prescribed Mox 500mg twice a day, Allegra M once a day, Calpol 500mg twice a day, and AB Phylline capsules twice a day. I'm really concerned and wondering if it's safe for her to take AB Phylline and Allegra M during pregnancy. Could you shed some light on this for us?

View allI'm really confused about my test results for TB. On December 27th, I got a sputum test, and it was positive. But then the next day, I did another sputum test, and that came back negative. The Truenat test on the 29th and the CBNAAT on the 30th were also negative. My chest X-ray is normal according to my local doctor, and some symptoms like weakness have gotten better, though I still have a mild chest pain. My blood report was normal except for ESR being 26, lymphocytes at 43, and cholesterol at 216. With my initial test being positive and all the following ones negative, I'm really unsure whether I have TB or not and whether I should start taking any medication. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been having chest pain for about two weeks now, mostly on the left side under my breast. It's really uncomfortable because it gets worse when I lie down and feels like it's traveling to my back. Breathing deeply is painful, like a pinching feeling, and sneezing isn't an option because of the pain. I also feel like there's mucus in my throat, although I'm not coughing much. Last year around this time, I had a bad cough that lasted a month. When I saw a doctor last year, they had me do a chest X-ray and an HRCT, but those were normal, as was my CBC test. They gave me a painkiller with paracetamol since I had a fever in the beginning, but the fever's gone now. The chest pain isn't improving and seems to be getting worse. Do you have any advice on what I should do?
