I'm currently on tiotropium, taking 1 capsule a day for inhalation, along with avessa 250 rotocaps, oxybro capsules, and glemont f capsules. I'm a bit worried and just wondering if any of these could be harmful to me or if they contain steroids. Could you give me some info about these medicines?

Why is my fever and cough getting worse after taking Akt4 for 13 days? My weight is 77 kg, and my CECT report shows multiple small necrotic mediastinal and left hilar nodes due to Koch's. The FNAC report says MTB DNA is detected, and the Gene Xpert report couldn't determine Rifampicin susceptibility because there was very low MTB DNA. Is this normal? I'm really worried. When will the fever go away?

fever will go in 1 week

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 64 and had Covid pneumonia back in December 2020. She was on oxygen back then and thankfully recovered. Her breathing seems okay now, but her oxygen levels are always between 94 to 93 when she's awake, and they drop to around 80 to 90 when she's sleeping. We did a chest x-ray two months later, and it showed something called prominent bronchovascular markings of both lung fields. Can you help me understand what that means? Is this something serious or normal? Does she need any treatment for this?

yes she needs treatment. prominent bronchovascular markings means due to infection

I'm wondering if the muscles in my upper back are affecting my breathing. When I lean against the wall near my bed, I feel like I'm gasping for air, and my upper back muscles get really tight. I'm not sure what's going on. Can you shed some light on this? What should I do about it?

posture correction and breathing exercises
