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 really worried because my IgE level is 1180. I've been experiencing wheezing and coughing, and I also have some red spots on my skin. I consulted a doctor, and they mentioned it might be asthma. I've got my PFT reports attached. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing, especially in the mornings when I wake up. It's been going on for almost 2 months now. I've also been dealing with flu-like symptoms for about 20 days and my nose is blocked quite often, even though I've been taking Montek LC. It doesn't seem to be helping much. There's also a weird sensation in my chest like I need to cough, but it just doesn't happen. I don't have a sore throat or fever, so I'm a bit confused. By the way, I've had gastric issues for a long time. What would you suggest I do?
