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've been dealing with TB and started my meds back on March 13, 2018. At the beginning, my fever was really high, around 103, but now it's gone down to about 99 to 100. I'm wondering, when can I expect this fever to finally go away?

It's great that your fever has reduced. Typically, it can take a few weeks for the fever to completely subside during TB treatment, but it varies from person to person. Keep monitoring your temperature, and if it persists or worsens, be sure to consult your doctor.

I'm a bit confused about my CT score. During my COVID infection, my CT score was 425, and now, post-COVID, it's 725. The doctor mentioned it's normal but I'm not sure what this means. I finished home quarantine 45 days ago and tested negative twice. Should I be concerned about the CT score of 7, or is there anything specific I need to do?

lead normal life , nothing to worry
