Question 1

Ive been prescribed AB Phylline N tablet for excessive phlegm, but I can only find AB Phylline SR tablets in my area. Can I use the SR version instead of the N one? Is it safe, or should I wait until I find the exact one prescribed?

Accepted Answer

It's best to follow your doctor's prescription, as there may be specific reasons for recommending AB Phylline N. However, if AB Phylline SR is the only option available, I would advise consulting your doctor or pharmacist before switching to ensure it's suitable for your condition.

Question 2

I recently had a chest x-ray and the result says there are suspicious infiltrates in the right apex, and it mentions considering pneumonia. Does this mean I have pneumonia? Im not feeling any issues with my breathing, and my chest doesnt hurt. I dont...

Accepted Answer

A chest X-ray showing suspicious infiltrates in the right apex could suggest pneumonia, but it doesn't confirm the diagnosis on its own. Since you're not experiencing symptoms like breathing difficulties, chest pain, or a cold, it might be worth discussing the results further with your doctor to evaluate whether further tests or monitoring are needed.

Question 3

Hi, Ive been on medication for lymph node tuberculosis for about 2 and a half months now. Recently, I noticed some enlarged nodes in my abdomen, whereas before, I only had them in my neck and groin. How long should I expect the enlarged nodes to last...

Accepted Answer

Enlarged lymph nodes can persist throughout TB treatment, but they typically start to shrink within 3-6 months; the standard treatment course for lymph node TB is 6-9 months, but it may vary depending on your response to treatment, so consult your doctor to assess your progress and determine the best course of action.

Question 4

Ive been having breathing problems for the last 5 years and have been using an inhaler along with Montair LC tablets. Is this something Ill need to manage long-term, or should I be looking into other treatments?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you've been managing a chronic respiratory issue for the past five years, using an inhaler and Montair LC tablets to help with symptoms. It's important to continue following your prescribed treatment plan, but if you're noticing any changes or worsening of symptoms, it may be worth discussing with your doctor to adjust your management strategy.

Question 5

I was recently advised by my doctor to use a Duolin inhaler after a severe asthma attack. Before that, I was using a Rotahaler, which was cheaper. Im wondering which of the two is better for my condition. Should I stick with the Duolin inhaler as my ...

Accepted Answer

Duolin inhaler, containing a combination of Levosalbutamol and Ipratropium, is generally considered more effective than Rotahaler (containing only Levosalbutamol) for managing severe asthma symptoms, as it provides both bronchodilation and anti-inflammatory effects, so it's recommended to continue with Duolin inhaler as advised by your doctor.

Question 6

Im experiencing a weird feeling in my chest when I breathe, just below my throat and above my breasts. Its not exactly pain, more like an odd sensation. Im not sure what it could be or if I should be worried. Any idea what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

The unusual sensation in your chest, described as a weird feeling when breathing, just below the throat and above the breasts, could be related to anxiety, acid reflux, or respiratory issues like asthma or bronchitis
