Question 1

I recently had an apicolordotic view, and it showed a few fibrotic opacities in the right upper lobe, possibly due to Kochs etiology. Im concerned about what this means. Should I be worried, and what steps should I take next?

Accepted Answer

The Apicolordotic view X-ray report suggests that you may have had tuberculosis (TB) in the past, as indicated by the presence of fibrotic opacities in the right upper lobe, which are likely scars from healed TB lesions, also known as Koch's lesions.

Question 2

Hi Doc, my doctor mentioned that my child is allergic to climate change. We're giving her nebulization for now, but shes still coughing a lot. Is this normal? Should we be doing something else or giving her any other medication to help with the coughing?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your doctor suspects an allergy triggered by changes in the weather, which can worsen symptoms like coughing. Nebulization should help with breathing, but if the coughing persists, it's important to follow up for additional treatments or medications to manage the allergy better.

Question 4

I recently had a chest X-ray, and the report mentioned "Rt. Infra Hilar Congestion." Im a bit worried if this is serious and what kind of treatment or medication might be needed. Im also experiencing some mild pain in my right ear and jaw, but there ...

Accepted Answer

The finding of "right infra-hilar congestion" on your chest X-ray suggests mild congestion in the lung area near the right hilum, often related to inflammation or fluid retention. It doesn't seem immediately serious, but given your ear and jaw pain, it could indicate an upper respiratory or ENT-related issue. I recommend seeing a doctor for a full evaluation and appropriate treatment, as medications will depend on the underlying cause.

Question 5

Im undergoing tuberculosis treatment, and Ive been having fever. How long can the fever last during this treatment? Is there a specific time when it should stop?

Accepted Answer

Fever during tuberculosis treatment can occur, especially in the initial phase, as your body adjusts to the medication. Typically, it should subside within a few weeks of starting the treatment. If the fever persists beyond that, it's important to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Question 6

Hi doctor, I had tuberculosis and completed my treatment. But now, after finishing the treatment, I sometimes notice blood in my mouth. Is this something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

It's important to take any instance of blood in the mouth seriously, even after completing TB treatment. It could be related to residual lung issues, irritation, or other causes such as a throat infection or bleeding gums. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation and to rule out any complications or new conditions.
