Question 1

I'm dealing with Allergic Rhinitis Asthma and some level of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. I've been using NazomacAF nasal spray in both nostrils every couple of days. Since starting it, my nasal congestion has pretty much vanished and I'm not having any breathing issues. But I'm really curious if it's safe to use this spray long-term when I'm using it once every two days. Also, I haven't seen any improvement with my snoring since I began using it. What should I know about this?

Question 6

I've been wondering if it's a good idea to get tested for TB every year to catch it early. Also, is it possible to have active TB without showing any symptoms?

Accepted Answer

The most common test for TB is the Mantoux tuberculin skin test or the TB blood test. Early detection can help in timely treatment and prevent the spread of the disease. Is it possible to have active TB without any symptom? Yes, it is possible to have active TB without any symptoms. This is known as latent TB infection, where the bacteria are present in the body but are not causing any symptoms. In such cases, treatment may still be necessary to prevent the infection from progressing to active TB disease.
