I'm a bit worried about my breathing sometimes. I had a stent implant about 3 years back and I've noticed that when I catch a cold or have a cough, it becomes hard to breathe. My doctor gave me a few medicationsBudecort 200, Esiflo 250, Tiova, and Leveloinbut I usually just take Budecort 200 whenever I feel it's needed. Is this okay to do, or should I be taking all the prescribed medications regularly?

I'm currently dealing with extra pulmonary tuberculosis and have developed left pleural effusion. I'm now in the fourth month of my continuous phase of ATT. These days, I'm taking Macox plus 600 and Ecox 1000mg tablets daily. I'm wondering, is it okay to continue with these medications for the rest of the ATT course? Would really appreciate your guidance on this!

I've been diagnosed with tuberculosis and they've also found fibrotic band opacities in my lungs. Is this the same as lung fibrosis, and if so, does it get worse over time? I'm really freaking out about this and would appreciate any insights.
Tuberculosis and fibrotic band opacities are not the same as lung fibrosis, although they can be related. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, while fibrotic band opacities are a type of scarring that can occur in the lungs due to various reasons, including infections like tuberculosis. Lung fibrosis, on the other hand, is a specific condition characterized by progressive scarring of the lung tissue. In your case, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
