Question 1

I'm currently undergoing TB treatment, and it's been about three weeks. I've been feeling really weak and lethargic, I've lost some weight, and I'm experiencing fever, chills, and a tight feeling in my chest. Also, my alkaline phosphate level is up to 129 uL. I'm just wondering if there's a way to get better results or faster relief with my treatment. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Sputum for AFB,microscopy ,complete blood count,esr,C-reactive protein,and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past two months, and no matter how many times I see doctors or try different medicines, it just doesn't get better. For a while, I might feel some relief, but then things go back to how they were. It's really starting to worry and scare me. I've even had an X-ray and blood tests done, and both came back normal, but there's always a little mucus. I just can't figure out what's happening. Can you please offer some guidance and help me find a way to get better?

Accepted Answer

That could be Allergic Bronchitis, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, consume warm foods and maintain healthy lifestyle

Question 3

I'm having this random shortness of breath every now and then during the day, but strangely, it doesn't happen while I'm sleeping. I first felt this back in December 2019, and it just stopped on its own then. But it's popping up again over the last few days, and I'm a bit worried about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
