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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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'm worried about a whistling sound I hear when I breathe, along with a cough. It seems to happen when I'm laughing or doing Pranayama. Could this be something serious? What might be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm a bit confused right now. I recently had a pretty bad asthma attack, and my doctor switched me to this duolin inhaler. Before that, I was using the Rotahaler, mainly because it was cheaper. I'm trying to figure out if the duolin inhaler is actually better for me or if I can just go back to using the Rotahaler like before. Any advice on what I should do?
Duolin inhaler, containing a combination of Levosalbutamol and Ipratropium, is generally considered more effective than Rotahaler (containing only Levosalbutamol) for managing severe asthma symptoms, as it provides both bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory effects, so it's recommended to continue with Duolin inhaler as advised by your doctor.
