I'm really concerned about this cold and cough that keeps coming back, especially with breathing problems at night and in the early morning for the past three weeks. I saw a general physician and the medicine worked for a week, but the breathing issue starts up again as soon as I stop taking it. What should I do about this?

It sounds like you may have asthma or an allergic airway condition triggered by cold or night-time air. I recommend consulting a pulmonologist for a proper evaluation, including spirometry. Continuing appropriate long-term treatment, like inhalers, may help prevent recurrence.

I'm a bit confused about my mom's diagnosis. Her CT scan showed something like patchy airspace acinarization and some nodular radio opacities, and she has prominent bronchovascular markings. The doctor said she's got tuberculosis and put her on this Rizorine kit. But what's really bugging me is the doctor mentioned it's not contagious. Is it common for TB to be non-contagious, or could there be some misunderstanding here?

Yes it is not contagious,as we all are vaccinated for it,but if you are weak it might infect you,be safe and follow hygiene practices

I've been having a slight cough and some wheezing again after getting better a couple of weeks ago. Now it's also paired with a cold and a stuffy, runny nose. I haven't traveled anywhere, but I did go out twice with a mask and gloves to grab some essentials. Do you think I should be concerned about it being COVID?

do covid test and start treatment sos

Hey, just wanted a second opinion about my abdominal tuberculosis treatment. My doctor stopped RHE FD and Pyzina and now has me on R Cinex 600 and Moximac. My uric acid level is 12.7. About 1.5 years ago, I had extra pulmonary TB, and despite finishing 9 months of AKT4, TB's been diagnosed again after a recent CT scan because I had upper abdomen pain. I dont have any TB symptoms or side effects from meds this time. Is the treatment plan right? How can I contact online for more details?

Continue same treatment as advised by the physician.
