I'm a bit worried about my breathing issues. The doctor prescribed me Predmet 4mg tablets for 15 days, and it really helped control it. But now that I've finished the course, the breathing problem has come back. How long can I safely continue taking this medicine if it helps with my breathing? Could you please advise?

I'm three months into my pulmonary tuberculosis treatment and my sputum test came back negative. But here's the thing, there's still no improvement in the radiological scans. Should I be worried about this? What could be going on?

Continue ATT for another 3 months duration.

I'm really concerned about my friend who's getting treated for TB. I'm trying to figure out the right diet for him. Can you advise on which fruits and vegetables would be best for someone in his condition? Also, is it safe for him to eat food with spices? I would really appreciate your guidance on this.

I'm trying to figure out if I might have asthma. In the mornings, my peak flow is around 450, but it jumps to 600 after I take two puffs of duolin. The chest X-ray and CT scan look normal, but the PFT results show early small airway obstruction with a PEF of 2575 or PEFR pred at 70. They also indicated mild obstruction with an FEV1FVC of 95 and FVC pred at 80. What does all this mean? I'm really not sure and could use some guidance.

Spirometry and pulmonary function tests are advised to the patient.
