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'm a bit worried because I accidentally inhaled a small piece of rice while eating yesterday. Could this cause any harm, and is there a chance it might dissolve on its own? I'm also concerned about the possibility of getting an infection. What should I do?

A small foreign body, such as a piece of rice, getting into the lungs can potentially cause irritation or infection. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you are experiencing symptoms such as persistent cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or fever. In some cases, the foreign body may need to be removed by a medical professional. I recommend visiting a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm dealing with asthma and have been using Foracort 2 puffs on an SOS basis. I also take Omnitan H for my blood pressure every morning. A while back, my doctor suggested Montgress FX Montair LC when I have breathing issues. Recently, I got viral pneumonia and ended up in the hospital. I recovered but tested positive for Covid later on, though I didn't have any symptoms. After 14 days, my Covid test came back negative. Now, my doctor recommended Montair LC for 10 days and Foracort 200, 2 puffs twice daily. I'm kind of confused about which medicine I should stick to for my asthma in the long run. I usually get breathless when I try to climb stairs past the first floor. Can you help me figure this out?

continue foracort 200 2 puffs daily

I just got my mom's chest X-ray results, and it mentions "small calcified nodules" in her right middle zone and right apical region, and it says something about tuberculosis. I'm really worried. Can you explain what this means? Is it something serious or risky that I should be concerned about? Also, what kind of treatment might be needed for this? I'm pretty stressed and just want to make sure she's okay. Can you help clarify all this for me?

this is sequalea of tuberculosis, kindly visit your pulmonologist and take one opinion
