I've been feeling really out of breath at night and I'm dealing with a chest infection and a constant cough. I'm wondering if taking the tablet Theoasthalin would help with my symptoms. Can you give me some advice on whether it's a good idea to try it?

View allI'm a bit anxious after having been on AKT3 for 4 months since May 8, 2017. I'm really hoping to hear that this treatment has worked and the TB is gone for good. How will I know if my body is free from TB now? Are there any specific signs or tests that can confirm it's completely eliminated?
Possible Diagnosis* 1. *Epididymitis*: Inflammation of the epididymis, a tube behind the testicle that stores sperm. Masturbation can cause minor trauma, leading to inflammation. 2. *Testicular strain*: Overstretching or minor injury to the testicular tissues, possibly due to masturbation or tight clothing. *Treatment Advice* 1. *Rest and relaxation*: Avoid strenuous activities, tight clothing, and prolonged sitting. 2. *Cold compress*: Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce pain and inflammation. 3. *Pain relief*: Take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) as directed. 4. *Elevate the scrotum*: When sitting or lying down, elevate the scrotum to reduce swelling and discomfort. 5. *Practice good hygiene*: Keep the genital area clean and dry to prevent infection. 6. *Avoid masturbation*: Refrain from masturbation for a few weeks to allow the affected area to heal. *When to Seek Medical Attention* 1. *Severe pain*: If the pain becomes unbearable or is accompanied by vomiting, fever, or chills. 2. *Swelling or redness*: If the scrotum becomes severely swollen, red, or warm to the touch. 3. *Discharge or bleeding*: If you notice unusual discharge or bleeding from the penis or scrotum. 4. *Fever*: If you experience a fever over 101.5F (38.6C).
