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.

View allMy recent blood report shows that my TSH level is 12.04. I am a female, currently weighing 83 kg with a height of 6 feet 7 inches. My doctor has prescribed me 50 mcg of Thyronorm. However, a family member who is also a physician suggested that because my TSH level is quite high, I could take 125 mcg instead. I am confused about the correct dosage and would appreciate your guidance based on the report. Thank you.

I had a sixteen day period flow last month. I visited a local doctor who prescribed medicine to stop the flow and asked me to visit a gynecologist if it continued. My flow stopped after taking the prescription. After a week, my flow started again, so I visited a gynecologist. The gynecologist said everything is normal and the flow may be due to hormonal changes or thyroid issues. He gave me a prescription and asked for a blood test to check thyroid. My flow stopped again after taking the prescription, and I got my blood tested. Currently, all hospitals in my area are full, so I could not visit the gynecologist to show my blood test report. I have attached my blood test report and the prescription. Please guide me about my condition now and future prescription if I get periods again with long flow duration?
