I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past two weeks and it's driving me crazy. I've already tried Clavam 625 and taking Budesal 1 mg twice daily, along with doing steam inhalations, but nothing is really helping. I'm feeling really tired and just want to know what else I can do to get better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My wife has been dealing with TB since February 2017 and she's been on 3 FDC treatment. A few months after starting, we went through a biopsy and she continued with medication. Now she's having some trouble with her legs. Have you seen something like this before or is it common for TB medication to cause leg issues? What should we do next?
Its important to inform her TB specialist about the leg symptoms. They can determine if the issue is a side effect of the medication or if it's related to something else. Evaluate for Peripheral Neuropathy: If the leg pain or weakness is due to nerve damage (which is common with Isoniazid), they might consider giving Vitamin B6 supplementation (to help with neuropathy), or they might change her medication regimen. Nerve or Bone Imaging: If there is suspicion that the TB has affected her bones or joints, further imaging (like X-rays, MRI, or bone scans) may be needed. Blood Tests: To check for any liver toxicity or vitamin deficiencies (such as Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, or calcium).

I'm really worried about my sister's chest X-ray results. It mentioned everything was normal except it said the right hilar shadows are heavy and show nodularity, linked to lymphadenopathy. I'm pretty anxious and just need to know if this is something that only happens to people with HIV or could it be something else?
The finding of "right hilar shadows heavy with nodularity, suggestive of lymphadenopathy," is not specific to HIV infection. It can occur in various conditions, including infections, inflammatory diseases, or even cancers. Further investigation, such as clinical assessment and additional tests, is needed to determine the exact cause.
