I'm really worried about my sister. She's been dealing with sleep apnea for like 10 years now, and it causes her to wake up suddenly while sleeping, though it only happens once every month or every couple of months. What kind of treatments are available for this, and how can we help her manage or sort this out?

I've been diagnosed with TB lymphadenitis and I'm a bit confused about my medication routine. Right now, I take Rcnex in the morning, then Ethambutol after breakfast, and Pyrazinamide after lunch. Initially, my fever was quite constant, and I had to take four paracetamol tablets a day, but now I just need one. I'm worried because a drug sensitivity test wasn't done. Is this the right way to be taking my meds, and how many days should it usually take for the fever to go away? Also, should I be considering a biopsy anytime soon?

I'm a bit concerned because I've had this cough for about 10 days now. It switches between being dry and wet, and recently, I've started having some abdominal pain when I cough. Could this be something serious? What should I do about it?
