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?

What can you make of my mom's recent X-ray? She's 60, and after testing positive for COVID antibodies 18 days after her first symptoms, the new X-ray shows some prominent bronchovascular markings with a patchy non-homogeneous opacity in the left lower zone. It also mentions something about a bulky right hilum with calcified lymph nodes. Should I be worried about these findings?

I'm wondering how long it usually takes for my IGE levels to go down. I've been on Spirodin 650 and Montemac FX, but I'm still having trouble with my breathing. When should I start feeling like I did before?
Spirodin 650 is a brand name for Montelukast, which is used to treat asthma and allergic rhinitis. Montemac FX is a combination medication containing Montelukast and Fexofenadine, used for allergic conditions. If you are experiencing breathing problems while taking these medications, it is important to consult your doctor immediately. They may need to adjust your dosage or switch to a different medication to alleviate your symptoms. Monitoring your IGE levels is also important, but the time it takes for them to decrease can vary depending on the individual and the underlying condition. Regular follow-up with your doctor is recommended to track your progress.
