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 really worried about my 76-year-old mom. She was diagnosed with Pulmonary TB but it was caught pretty early on. She started on AKT4, but after just five days, she had terrible reactions like severe vomiting and nausea. It left her feeling really weak. We admitted her to the hospital, and her LFT reports came back way off. So, they stopped her medication for four days, but her LFTs still aren't normal yet. Now they've suggested starting with Ethambutol and checking her LFTs again in three days, then adding another drug and doing more LFTs. Her sputum test was negative, but the gene expert test showed TB. Does this plan make sense? I'm just so worried about her and really want to make sure we're doing the right thing for her treatment.
yes continue

I've been dealing with this annoying throat irritation and wet cough with phlegm for a while now. I've already tried all kinds of antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. One doctor prescribed Prednisolone, and it made me feel better while I was on it, but as soon as I stopped, all the symptoms came back, like the phlegm and weird throat sounds while I'm sleeping. Im trying to figure out why it keeps coming back. Could there be something else going on that's causing these symptoms to persist?
