I'm curious about something. I've had asthma allergic rhinitis for the past two years, but before all that started, I was able to donate blood. Do you think it's still okay for me to give blood now?

View allI've been diagnosed with TB lymphadenitis and I'm a bit confused about my medication routine. Right now, I take Rcnex in the morning, then Ethambutol after breakfast, and Pyrazinamide after lunch. Initially, my fever was quite constant, and I had to take four paracetamol tablets a day, but now I just need one. I'm worried because a drug sensitivity test wasn't done. Is this the right way to be taking my meds, and how many days should it usually take for the fever to go away? Also, should I be considering a biopsy anytime soon?
correct

I've recently been diagnosed with sarcoidosis and I'm feeling really worried about it. The doctors found mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy and both my Mtb genexpert and afb staining came back negative. I'm experiencing symptoms like weight loss, fever, a persistent cough, and these red spots on my legs. My doctor mentioned that there's no cure for sarcoidosis and I'm just really concerned about what this means for my future. Is there any hope for living a full life after a sarcoidosis diagnosis? What's the life expectancy like for someone in my situation?
need not worry, you can live good if you take medicines properly

I'm really concerned about my mom's asthma. The doctor recommended Xanilax SR 200 instead of Theoasthalin SR, but I'm not sure if this is the right choice. Plus, it's a bit pricey. Could you give me some advice on whether Xanilax SR 200 is a good substitute?
Yes, Xanilax SR 200 is a suitable substitute for Theoasthalin SR in the treatment of Asthma. Xanilax SR 200 contains Theophylline which helps in relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. As for the cost, Xanilax SR 200 may be slightly more expensive than Theoasthalin SR, but it is important to follow your doctor's prescription for optimal management of Asthma symptoms. The usual dosage of Xanilax SR 200 is 200mg once daily, but please follow your doctor's instructions for the correct dosage based on your mother's condition.
