Is there a specific test I should take to make sure I'm completely cured after finishing my 6-month course of akurit4 and akurit3? I'm a bit worried and just want to be sure everything is clear.

Ive been dealing with this dry cough for the last 20 days and even after taking some medicines, it just wont go away. Im really worried and unsure what to do next. Could you give me some advice or suggest what might be going on?

Persistent dry cough may require a different approach. You can try taking Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) 25mg every 6 hours as needed for cough. Additionally, you can use Robitussin DM (Dextromethorphan and Guaifenesin) 10ml every 4-6 hours as needed for cough. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier to help soothe your throat.

My dad's been diagnosed with stage 3 COPD. His breathing rate is 84 and his SpO2 is a bit above 90. He's feeling extremely weak and he's down to only 40 kg. The doctor did a CT scan and confirmed it's TB. I'm really worried about his condition and what the next steps should be. What kind of treatment can help him, and is there anything specific I should be doing to support his recovery?
