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'm having a tough time breathing, and it's been like this since last night. My throat also feels itchy, and I'm struggling to breathe properly. I've dealt with acidity and gas issues before, so I'm wondering if they might be related. Could you recommend something to help?

I've been dealing with a cough for 1214 days, and it's probably due to my dust allergy. I visited a doctor last week, and he prescribed Macpod 200, Montek LC, and Rapitus plus syrup. But over the last couple of days, I've developed a fever and I'm feeling really weak. What should I do? Is this something to be worried about?
