I'm a bit stressed out because I've been managing my bronchial asthma for 20 years using a regular puff of Forair 250 mg from Novacart, and it's worked really well for me. But I just found out they've stopped making it, and I'm starting to feel the symptoms coming back. Do you know of any alternatives I can try?

View allI'm really worried about my TB treatment. My first doctor prescribed AKT4, but I found out it might be less than what's needed for my weight, which is 67kg. So I talked to another pulmonologist who recommended I switch to DOTS and do the full 6-month course. I've already taken AKT4 for a month before switching. I'm just concerneddid the switch affect my treatment at all? Should I be tested for multi-drug resistant TB?
no it will not effect . continue the same treatment

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 49 and dealing with a thyroid problem, but now she's tested positive for Covid. Her HR CT report seems fine, and she's mainly experiencing weakness and a bit of a dry cough. Her oxygen levels are usually between 93 to 98 during the day, but at night while she's sleeping, her spo2 level drops quickly to around 80-85, which is pretty alarming. We end up waking her up, and then her spo2 levels return to normal. Could this be because of Covid? Should I be worried? What should we do if this happens again?
