Question 1

My brother was diagnosed with lung TB in 2021, and after completing treatment, he was clear. But then, just six months later, he got affected again, this time with Pott spine TB. As his family, were worried about whether we might need to get checked too. Ive already done an ESR blood test, and it came back normal, but should we still go for TB screening? Whats your advice on this?

Accepted Answer

yes check it once

Question 2

Is it possible for someone with 80% lung damage, maybe from COVID-19, to recover? She seemed to be getting better, but now the doctors are telling us to bring her home and that she might not survive more than a month. They mentioned that only prayers could make a difference. Is there really nothing else we can do?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 3

I'm experiencing this pain on the backside when I take deep breaths, and it's also there, but milder, when I breathe normally. It's been going on for a while, and I'm not sure what it could mean. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that usually goes away on its own? What might be causing it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle strain or inflammation in the ribcage or intercostal muscles, which can cause pain during deep breathing. However, it's important to rule out any underlying conditions, such as lung or kidney issues. I recommend seeing a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.
