I've been having frequent asthma attacks and it seems like my current meds, Foracort rotacaps and Levolin, aren't really doing the trick. There's no fever or sneezing, and my PFT results show moderate obstruction. I'm not a smoker either. I've already talked to a bunch of pulmonologists, but I'm still struggling. What would you recommend for better treatment?

I'm kind of worried because I finished my TB treatment a year ago, but now I'm experiencing chest pain, although I don't have a cough or anything like that. I'm just wondering, is it possible that the TB could be back even though my reports aren't showing any signs of it?

Patient is advised ecg,chest xray pa view and also sputum for AFB and microscopy.

I'm feeling really worried because I've had symptoms like a fever around 100F, a lot of coughing, and this weird pressure on the left side of my chest and back for the last four days. I've stayed at home, isolated myself, and took a COVID test, but I don't have the results yet. I also have asthma and allergies to dust and smoke. Could you please suggest what precautions to take and if there's any medication I should consider?

Hey, I'm reaching out about my niece who's 13. She was diagnosed with typhoid in November, and they've been giving her really strong meds for that, along with malaria and dengue because she had a fever back then too. Now they've found out she has TB, and I'm desperately searching for a good TB doctor for her. She's gotten so weak she can't even swallow the meds now, and it's really hard to see her like this. Can you help?
