Question 1

Hi doc, one of my close friends is being treated for MDR lymph node TB, and the sputum test came back negative. Im worried about whether this condition is contagious. Are there any precautions we should be taking?

Accepted Answer

Although your friend's sputum reports are negative, Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) lymph node TB can still be contagious through close contact, especially if your friend has a cough or is experiencing lymph node drainage; take precautions like wearing a mask, avoiding close contact, covering mouth and nose while coughing/sneezing, and ensuring good ventilation to minimize transmission risk.

Question 2

My doctor suggested giving my child a nebulizer with Duolin and Budecort. Can I mix them together or should I give them separately? His oxygen levels are around 92-93 without the oxygen mask. Is this something to worry about?

Accepted Answer

You can mix Duolin and Budecort in the nebulizer, as they are often used together to help with breathing. However, it's important to follow your doctor's instructions on the exact doses and timing. If his oxygen levels are 92-93 without the mask, it might be worth monitoring closely and considering supplemental oxygen as advised by the doctor.

Question 3

I've been taking Rablet D and AB-Flo as prescribed by my pulmonologist for the last week, but they haven't provided much relief (though they've shown some effect). My chest report came back clear with no abnormalities. I have no cough, cold, or fever...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your symptoms might be related to gastric motility or reflux issues, and Ganaton Total could help by improving stomach movement and relieving any discomfort from food getting "stuck." Since you're not experiencing pain and your chest report is clear, it's good that you're already doing yoga and walking. If the discomfort persists or worsens, further investigation into motility or digestive issues might be needed.

Question 4

My father has been having trouble breathing and coughing a lot. His chest X-ray shows prominent bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. What does this mean, and could it be causing his symptoms? What should we do next?

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms suggest chronic bronchitis or a lingering respiratory infection, with the white jelly-like or fibrous mucus indicating a possible fungal or bacterial overgrowth; meanwhile, the acidity, heartburn, and flatulence may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), so consider consulting md medicine
