I'm really worried about my husband. He's had a pleural effusion in his right lung, and weve gone through a bunch of tests for TB. But it's confusing because some results suggest TB, while others don't. The doctor went ahead and started him on ATT, but now hes dealing with a lot of severe weakness. I'm wondering if this weakness could be a side effect of the ATT. Can you give some insight?

give him food with high protenicous diet. his weakness will be reduced

I've been concerned about my chest x-ray results taken about six weeks after having COVID. One doctor mentioned that there's a slight infection and suggested taking azithromycin 600 mg for a week, but another doctor advised me that there's no infection. Could you help clarify if there's actually an infection or if I need to take the antibiotics? I really prefer not to take more medication unless it's necessary.

Continue same treatment as advised by the physician.
