The pus from my cervical TB infection was drained but the lump hasn't gone away yet. The lab confirmed it's tuberculosis and I'm on FORECOX (Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol) twice daily. Should I get any other tests done to check if the treatment is working or if there's more going on

It's important to monitor the progress of your cervical TB treatment and the lymph node after draining the pus. While the drug regimen you're on (FORECOX) is effective, additional tests may be needed to confirm the effectiveness of the treatment and rule out any other potential complications.

View allI've been trying to shake off a chest congestion issue that popped up about ten days after I recovered from COVID. My symptoms were pretty mild initially, and I got through it while isolating at home. But now, I'm dealing with this annoying chest noise when I breathe, and it's making me cough. What's weird is that this didn't happen at all when I was still positive for COVID. I was taking MucidayN daily for about 23 days, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. Is there another medication you think might work better, or should I just keep going with MucidayN? Any advice would be appreciated!
take tablet mucinac for 5 days, twice a day

Hey, my mom's 45 and she's had TB twice, in 2013 and 2014. She followed the anti-TB schedule, but her coughing just won't stop, and she gets colds super easily. She's been feeling pretty unwell, especially after bleeding episodes, which have happened four times. Sometimes it's a lot of blood, other times, just a bit. We got an X-ray done and visited a doctor who said there's nothing to worry about, but I'm still really concerned. The doctor prescribed some pneumonia meds, but I'm anxious to know how long it'll take for her to fully recover. Any advice or insights would be a big help.
Usually it takes around 6-9 months for a tb patient to recover.Rest continue all the medications as advised by the physician.
