Hey, so I kinda messed up my TB meds schedule. I was late by 12 hours twice. First time, I missed my morning dose and ended up taking it at night. Then, the next time, I missed the night dose and took it in the morning. But I've been consistent since, like if I took the missed dose at night, I continued the rest of the doses at night. Is this a problem, or am I still on the right track?

I'm currently going through treatment for tuberculosis and I'm taking rcinex and pyzina 1750 along with Folfit. I'm wondering if I can switch out Folfit for FDSON MP Forte since they seem to have the same composition. Am I missing something important here?
Continue same treatment.

I've been dealing with a bit of a concern ever since I had COVID-19 last April. I got through it in about a week without needing to go to the hospital or taking any heavy-duty meds, but now a couple of times a day, I notice a light wheezing in my chest. It usually happens in the morning when I wake up, and to get rid of it, I end up coughing hard, which brings up a chunk of phlegm. I dont have a constant cough, only when I try to clear the wheezing. Is this normal post-COVID, or should I be worried about it?
Syrup salbutamol 10 ml orally thrice daily is advised to the patient.
