Question 1

My husband finished 6 months of medication for mediastinal lymph node TB, and I've attached his reports. Originally, his node was 7cm by 3cm. During this period, he gained 9kg, and while he used to have a fever, thats gone now and his cough is a bit better. But he still coughs around 30 times a day, and I'm counting each one. Could it be something serious like cancer since his cough hasn't completely cleared up yet?

Accepted Answer

A CT value of 16 indicates a higher viral load, suggesting active infection. While a higher viral load can sometimes be associated with a greater chance of complications like lung involvement, the absence of severe symptoms is a positive sign. Further testing, such as a chest X-ray or CT scan, might be considered to assess lung health, but its essential to monitor his condition closely. If symptoms worsen, seek medical attention promptly.

Accepted Answer

Allergists can help manage and treat allergic rhinitis effectively, but it may not be cured forever. They can provide you with medications such as Loratadine (Claritin) or Cetirizine (Zyrtec) to help relieve your symptoms. In some cases, they may also recommend allergy shots (immunotherapy) to reduce your body's response to allergens. It's important to consult with an Allergist to create a personalized treatment plan for your allergic rhinitis.

Question 6

I was recently diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and got some concerning lab results. My WBC count is 13,000 and my serum IgE levels shot up to 3,500, which I know is way above the normal range of 0-100. Plus, my absolute eosinophil count is at 1,040,...

Accepted Answer

Elevated IgE levels, especially with allergic rhinitis, are usually a sign of an allergic response, not cancer. It's important to manage your allergies with medication, which can help lower IgE levels over time. The duration of improvement can vary, but with proper treatment, you should start seeing changes in a few weeks to months. Always follow up with your doctor for personalized care.
