Question

My mom's been diagnosed with early-stage TB, and she's having this issue with water and pus in her lung area. What steps should we take to help her out? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've just got my health check-up done, and while most things are in the normal range, my eosinophils count is a bit high at 11.6. I've started taking banocide tablets for the past couple of days. Lately, I've begun feeling a little uneasy when I breathe. I did an ECG and chest X-ray, and those came back normal. Do you think the banocide will help with the breathing issue, or should I be looking into other medication?

Hey, my father-in-law just found out he tested positive for COVID and his oxygen saturation levels are hovering around 92, 93, sometimes 94. Do you think we need to get him to the hospital right away, or is it okay to wait? I'm really worried and would appreciate your advice on this.
