Question 1

I've been on TB medication for a month now and haven't noticed any side effects like vomiting or jaundice. Is it normal not to experience side effects with TB medications? Last year, when I had extrapulmonary lymph node TB, I experienced a lot of side effects and the treatment lasted over nine months. My pulmonologist confirmed it was cured, but now I've had upper abdomen pain for the last four months. An abdomen USG showed a mass lesion in the retro peritoneal region, and after a CT scan of my thorax and full abdomen, it showed collapsed lungs and abdominal adenopathy. I've started taking RHE FD tablets again, but I'm confused if it's really TB this time since I don't have any symptoms or side effects from the medication. Could it be something else? What do you suggest I do?

Accepted Answer

your body mght be adopted to those medicines, so you are not having any side efects

Question 2

I'm having some trouble understanding what's going on with my current meds. I've had breathing issues for the past couple of days even while just sitting or lying down. My pulmonologist gave me some medications: Budamate 200 transhaler, monteclc zostum o ab flo, and I've been on them for 2 days and do feel a bit better. But the inhaler makes me dizzy and my hands and legs feel weird. It's my first time using an inhaler, so I'm not sure if I should keep using it. The meds are for 5 days, so can I just stop the inhaler after that?

Accepted Answer

u can stop inhaler, use when ever symptoms are exacerbated and continue the medication

Question 3

I'm a 29-year-old guy dealing with allergic rhinitis, and now it's progressed to allergic asthma. I had a chest X-ray, which was normal, but my AEC count came back high. A few days ago, I had a really severe breathing problem, and my doctor put me on Airtec SF 250, ABphylline SR 200 mg, and Montair FX. These have helped a little, but I'm still feeling some breathing issues. I'm wondering if it'll take some time for the symptoms to fully settle down, or if there's anything else I could be taking to feel better. Could you give me some advice?

Accepted Answer

Continue all the medications .ab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice .Salbutomol inhaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.

I'm a bit worried because my x-ray results show I have a lung nodule. I'm applying to be a public teacher, and I don't have any pain or issues in my lung area, and I rarely cough. From what I know, a nodule isn't a communicable disease, so do you think I can still get a fit-to-work clearance?

Patient is advised bronchoscopy,FNAC and biopsy of the nodule for further management.Nodule biopsy is sent for cytology,micoscopy and AFB .Kindly review with the reports.
