I've been having a fever, sweet-tasting sputum, and some bowel issues lately. I'm currently taking medication for tuberculosis every day and haven't had any side effects, but now these symptoms have cropped up over the past week. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I've been experiencing some breathing problems and chest pain, and sometimes I have a blocked nose too which makes it hard to breathe. Also, I've started having some back pain. I'm a bit worried about these symptoms and wondering if they could be connected. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm a bit worried about using an inhaler. If someone uses it once or occasionally, do they end up needing it regularly? I've never used an inhaler before. Usually, my cough stops after I have some tea or take certain medicines, but recently those aren't working. Would it be a good idea to start using an inhaler, or is there a chance it could make my body depend on it?
