I've been having some trouble breathing at certain times during the day, but it's weird because when I'm working out at the gym, I don't have any issues. What could this be? Is it something I should be worried about?

I'm currently on tuberculosis medication and have been for the last two months. When I started the treatment, my ESR was 49, and it's now at 44. Is it normal for ESR levels to decrease this slowly? Should I be concerned about the progress, or is this expected with TB treatment? I'm trying to understand what this could mean for my recovery.

yes esr is a marker of infection, it is lowering which is a good sign

My mom used to take Theoasthalin SR, Romilast B10, and Foracort Forte 12400mcg for her asthma, and it worked really well for her. But now I can't find Theoasthalin SR anywhere. Do you know what a good substitute would be? It's kind of worrying since it was so effective for her.

Continue same treatment.Also etophylline orally ,twice daily is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my father. He tested positive for Covid yesterday, and his CT value is 16. He's had a fever for about eight days now with a temperature between 100 to 101. He's also diabetic and although he's been on diabetes medication for years, we're stressed because the fever hasn't eased up yet. He completed both doses of the Covid vaccine a few months back. His current oxygen levels are around 98-99, and his heart rate is between 71-80. He's got a cough and cold too. We started him on Covid meds and are keeping him in home quarantine, but I'm unsure if we should get a Lungs CT Scan done given his diabetes and the persisting fever. What do you suggest?

Yes,patient is advised a CT scan for further management.
