I'm having wheezing for the past couple of days, mostly at night and not so much during the day. My doctor told me to use one puff at night an hour before I go to sleep. I'm wondering if I should gargle my throat right after using the inhaler, or if there's anything else I should be doing. Also, if I stop using the inhaler after 15 days, could the wheezing come back?

After being on tuberculosis treatment for 2.5 months, I've started coughing up blood. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

After 2.5 months of TB treatment, blood coming from the mouth after coughing could be a sign of a serious complication known as hemoptysis. This can occur due to damage to the lungs caused by the TB infection. It is important to address this issue promptly. I would recommend you to consult your healthcare provider immediately for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, continue with your TB treatment as prescribed. Your doctor may consider adjusting your treatment regimen or providing additional medications to help control the bleeding.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with a dry cough for about five days now and she's on Doxofylline tablets and Forcef 500. The thing is, she just can't seem to eat anything because it makes her feel nauseous, and she's getting so weak. Ive heard paneer might be okay to give her, but Im not sure what foods are best right now. Could you help me figure out what she should be eating?

I've been dealing with this cough for almost two weeks now. Initially, it was dry, but in the last three days, it's turned into a wet cough, and I'm able to spit it out. I'm feeling constantly tired and really don't have the energy to get things done. Mornings are especially tough because I can't seem to get up. On top of that, I've been having severe headaches all day long. I'm kind of worried about what's going on. Could you give me some advice on what's happening and what I should do?

take syrup ascoril twice a day for 5 days
