I'm really worried about my dad, he's 67 and was diagnosed with TB after having pleural effusion in his right lung. He's been prescribed R cinex 600 once a day, pyrazinamide 750 two tablets at once daily, and combutol 1000 once daily by his pulmonologist. I'm just concerned about him taking both of those pyrazinamide tablets at the same time, like the doctor said, especially since he weighs 68 kg. Does this sound right to you?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with Tuberculosis for the past two months, and although she was discharged from the hospital two weeks ago, she's still struggling. The doctors diagnosed her with mycobacterium tuberculosis and recommended she take Akurvit4 in the morning after meals, along with Benadon and some cough syrup. They mentioned it could take 12 weeks for her cough to improve, but it's been a little over two weeks, and she's still having cough and low-grade fevers. Is this normal? How long should I wait to see more improvement? She's had only a slight relief, but I'm getting concerned because it's not what we were hoping for.

Yes,continue same treatment as advised by the physician.

I've been dealing with a dry and nagging cough for the past couple of weeks, and it's really starting to worry me. I've already tried levocetirizine tablets and several cough syrups geared towards dry coughs, but nothing seems to be helping. What should I do to find some relief?

take tablet mucinac for 5 days, two times daily
