I've just started taking Akurit 4 tablets for mild TB, and I've noticed that my urine has turned orange since this morning. Is this something that usually happens, or should I be really concerned about it? I'm feeling a bit anxious and would love to get some clarity on this.

If the orange-colored urine is your only concern, there is no need to worryit is a common, non-threatening side effect. However, always feel free to consult your doctor if you feel unsure or develop additional symptoms.

I'm feeling a bit concerned because my family doctor suggested I get my chest X-ray PA report attested due to some weakness I've been experiencing. I'm a little anxious since I had a history of tuberculosis back in 2018. Could you help me understand if everything looks okay in this report?

Patient is advised sputum for AFB and microscopy.

I'm dealing with a wet cough that's been bothering me for a week now. I tried taking Benadryl for a couple of days and then switched to Cipla's COFRYL, but nothing seems to be working. What can I do to get some relief?

Since you have already tried Benadryl and Cipla's COF-RYL without relief, I recommend trying Robitussin DM for your wet cough. Take 10ml of Robitussin DM every 4-6 hours as needed for cough. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body recover.
