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?

Question

I was diagnosed with lymph node TB back in August 2021, and Ive been on medication since then. I haven't had any symptoms for the past six months, which is great, but I'm wondering about smoking. I know its generally bad for your health, no matter your condition, but Im curious if it could specifically affect the treatment outcomes for TB. Does smoking have any particular impact on how well I might recover or respond to the treatment?

Question

I'm having trouble breathing when I'm lying on my back. It feels like the air gets stuck in my throat. But when I sit up and do some breathing exercises, things seem to get back to normal. This started around 8 to 10 days ago. I've also felt nauseous and had a tendency to vomit and I've been sweating for about 5 to 7 days. I don't have a fever, but I do cough continuously for about an hour or so. It got so bad that I went to the emergency room where they checked my blood pressure, breathing pulse, and body temperature. My BP was 15090. They gave me Razo, Montair, some cough syrup, and Betadine. But even after coming home, I'm still having trouble breathing when lying down and also have chest pain and a feeling of lethargy. Do you think this is serious? Can you suggest any home remedies? And when should I think about visiting the doctor again? The breathing issues are less serious than before, but I still have mild chest pain. Should I wait for about 12 days and see if it gets better before going back to the doctor?

Question

I'm really worried about my brother who's been covid positive for a week now. He had a fever for the first few days, but now that's gone and he's got this dry cough. We got some tests done and I've got the chest X-ray results, but the doctor can only see us next Sunday and today is Thursday. The report mentions something about inhomogeneous opacities at both mid and lower zones, and it also says there's a bilateral pulmonary inflammatory lesion. Should we be waiting till Sunday to see our doctor or do you think it's better to check with another doctor sooner? Id really appreciate your advice on what this might mean and how to proceed.
