Is my x-ray normal? I've been dealing with this constant phlegm and cough that keeps coming and going. Plus, my lymph nodes are swollen. Should I be worried?

I was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis last month and I've been taking my meds as prescribed, but now my uric acid levels are up to 12.7. So my doctor stopped most of the TB meds and left me with just rcinex 600 and moximacgerdid. I've read that without taking the full set of TB meds like AKT4, the treatment might not fully work. Is it really okay if I stop taking Pyzina but keep the treatment going? I'm really worried about any future problems. Should I stick with rcinex 600 or should I switch back to taking AKT4?

stop pyzina tablet and continue the rest of the medicine

My dad got diagnosed with COPD about three years ago because he used to smoke a lot. The doctors back then gave him these inhalers called Tiova and Foracort to help with it. But ever since, he's been having trouble with urination and gets really bad indigestion. A couple of months ago, he also started getting skin rashes on his hands and wrists. I did some research and found that Tiova has a whole list of side effects, and a lot of them seem to match up with what he's going through right now. Do you think he should stop using these inhalers?

Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.

It's been 8 days since I tested positive for COVID, and I'm struggling with breathing issues sometimes. I've tried using a nebulizer with Asthalin, which helps a bit. Yesterday, my oxygen levels dropped to 93, so I had to use an oxygen pump. Can you suggest any medicines or other options that might help me deal with this?

continue same treatment
