Hi sir, I have been undergoing treatment for MDR TB and have been regularly taking all prescribed medications as per my doctor instructions. These include Monopas, Ethio 250, Mycotuf C 250 mg, Levofloxacin, Benadon, Sompraz D, and Clotas EH. My recent chest X ray report shows that the left hilar shadow appears prominent. However, my blood test results are mostly normal, except for an elevated TSH level of 7.080, for which I take one tablet of Thyrox 100 daily. Please let me know what the prominent hilar shadow on the chest X ray might indicate and what steps should be taken next.

Even if your TB is cured, old tissue scarring, fibrosis, or enlarged lymph nodes may remain for a long time or even permanently. So, your Chest Xray may not return to normal, but this does not mean you still have an ongoing active TB infection. TSH is slightly high, but it is ok since you are already on anti thyroid medication. Get Thyroid profile tests after 2 months.

I suffered from asymptomatic COVID-19 two months ago, and my test was negative after seven days. After that, I developed a thyroid problem 1.5 months ago. I have consulted my doctor and am taking all medicines regularly. I am a married woman for seven months, and we have been trying to conceive for one month, but I have not become pregnant. Please give me some advice?

Hello Sir/Mam, I need your suggestions. Today I checked my full body blood report, including lipid profile, liver, B12, D3, thyroid, CBC, and sugar. I have been suffering from thyroid issues for a long time, and my report shows the results. Apart from this, I see a few other counts, like lymphocytes, are not normal. Please suggest. I have been having the following symptoms for a long time: extreme fatigue and dizziness all day, especially in the morning?

I did my thyroid test last week for the first time because my body weight is not reducing even after hard exercise. My blood test shows T3 and T4 are normal, but TSH level is increased to 21. How can I reduce it?
