I'm struggling with recurrent tuberculosis, and theyve been giving me streptomycin injections. The pain in my hips where they do the injections is pretty bad. Do you have any suggestions on how I might ease that pain?

For the pain at the injection site, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a cold compress to the area to reduce inflammation and pain. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before taking any medication to ensure it is safe for you.

I've been dealing with a breathing and chest problem for the past 10 days and have been taking Deriphylin OD 300, Defcort OD 12, and Montamac L tablets, but I'm not finding any relief. What's going on? Should I be worried, or do you think I need a different treatment?

My dad got diagnosed with COPD about three years ago because he used to smoke a lot. The doctors back then gave him these inhalers called Tiova and Foracort to help with it. But ever since, he's been having trouble with urination and gets really bad indigestion. A couple of months ago, he also started getting skin rashes on his hands and wrists. I did some research and found that Tiova has a whole list of side effects, and a lot of them seem to match up with what he's going through right now. Do you think he should stop using these inhalers?

Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with congestion, a lot of phlegm, and a cough for about 10 days now. I took a COVID test right when these symptoms started, and it came back negative. I've been steaming about 6 to 7 times a day, but things aren't really getting betterthey're just staying the same. What should I do next?
