I'm experiencing shortness of breath, but I don't have a fever or a typical coughthough I do get mucus when I manage to cough. I'm curious about what my X-ray report might indicate about these symptoms. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

I'm three months into my TB treatment and I've got my AFB and GeneXpert reports here. Could you have a look at them and let me know if everything seems okay? Also, what's the usual outcome for an AFB Culture test after three months of treatment? I'd really appreciate your input!

I've been dealing with some health issues lately and I'm getting pretty concerned. I'm 28 and moved to Bangalore about a year ago. I was diagnosed with Acute Urticaria back in July 2017, and it was manageable with medicine. But then, around May or June this year, I started noticing asthma-like symptoms creeping in, and now theyre happening all the time. The smallest amount of dust sets it off, or if the AC is turned off at work or home. Even laughing, which I used to do a lot, or sneezing, or talking fast triggers an episode. I've had heartburn a lot too and it seems to be linked to the asthma. I use Asthalin to help with the severe episodes. For the last couple of weeks, I've been waking up after only about 3 hours of sleep because I can't breathe well. I'm really worried about my health getting worse, so I'm wondering if there's any way to cure this. Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm 27 and have asthma. I'm taking deriphyllin tablets right now, and my husband and I are thinking about starting a family. I'm concerned about whether it's safe to continue this medication while trying to conceive. Could you advise me on this?

Asthma should not be treated with that drug.. inhalers are far better, lesser side effects, non addicting, safest in pregnancy, less dose needed,
