Question 1

I'm really worried about my mom... She was diagnosed with COVID, and we're now on the 14th day. Luckily, she hasn't had a fever for the last 6 days. Her CT scan on the 5th day showed a 625 score, and she started taking 40 mg of Predmet, which seemed to help with the fever. But now, I'm concerned about her D-dimer levels; they were at 1300 and after 4 injections of 40 mg Enoxaparin, it's down to 1100. I'm just really anxious to know how long it'll take for her D-dimer levels to drop below 500. Is there a typical timeframe for this to happen?

Question 4

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?

Accepted Answer

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.
