I'm really worried because my oxygen level has been fluctuating between 88 and 90 for the past three days. I'm 52 years old and weigh 95 kg, and my blood test came back normal. However, my CRP level was 35 mgL on April 13 and then went down to 8.60 mgL by April 27. What should I do about this situation?

I've been on TB medication for a month now and haven't noticed any side effects like vomiting or jaundice. Is it normal not to experience side effects with TB medications? Last year, when I had extrapulmonary lymph node TB, I experienced a lot of side effects and the treatment lasted over nine months. My pulmonologist confirmed it was cured, but now I've had upper abdomen pain for the last four months. An abdomen USG showed a mass lesion in the retro peritoneal region, and after a CT scan of my thorax and full abdomen, it showed collapsed lungs and abdominal adenopathy. I've started taking RHE FD tablets again, but I'm confused if it's really TB this time since I don't have any symptoms or side effects from the medication. Could it be something else? What do you suggest I do?

your body mght be adopted to those medicines, so you are not having any side efects
