View allI'm 27 and have been on TB treatment for a couple of months now. It all started with lymph nodes popping up in my neck, and tests showed it was Koch's. They gave me AKt 4, but it caused skin rashes and headaches, so I had to stay in the hospital for about 15 days. Now I'm on COMBUNEX 800, CLARIBID 250, and Ambistryn injections. I've been on this treatment for about 45 days already, and I'm wondering if 60 injections will be enough. What should I expect next in this treatment process?
It's common to experience side effects like skin rashes and headaches during tuberculosis (TB) treatment, especially in the initial phase. The number of injections required can vary based on your individual response to treatment, but 60 injections might be sufficient if prescribed by your physician. It's important to follow up with your doctor to monitor progress and address any concerns regarding side effects or treatment adjustments.

I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing, especially when I'm climbing stairs. I've been using my inhaler, and I've also had the Prevenar 13 vaccination back in 2018 and the FLUQUADRI 0.5ml booster in July 2019. My doctor has mentioned I need another vaccination for this season, especially with the monsoon coming. Could you let me know if the FLUQUADRI 2020-21 vaccine is available in Electronic City, Bangalore? Any insights would be really helpful.
sorry for late answer
