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?

View allI'm having trouble breathing and it's been happening for a while now. Lately though, it feels like I'm not getting enough air, and when I try to take a deep breath, sometimes I just can't. It's making me really uncomfortable. Could this possibly be a sign of asthma?

I'm currently on tuberculosis treatment and taking Rcinex and Pyzina 1750. At night, I take Folfit. I'm wondering if it's okay to switch Folfit to FDson MP Forte since I've noticed they have the same chemical makeup. Can you let me know if that's a safe switch?
you can use

I'm really worried about my condition. I got a chest X-ray and have been dealing with a 98.8-degree fever in the evenings along with an irritated throat and mucus. The Mantoux test came back positive at 1012 mm, but the AFB test was negative. My doctor at the government hospital started me on tuberculosis treatment two months ago. Since then, I've gained about 3 kg. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about anything else?
continue tablets for 4 months more
