Question 1

I'm dealing with a cough that's been lingering for about four days now, and I've been taking azithromycin and asthakind cough syrup. It's been pretty bothersome and sometimes even gives me a headache. Just wondering if there's something else I should try or be worried about? Any suggestions would really help.

Accepted Answer

Considering you've already taken azithromycin (an antibiotic) and Asthakind cough syrup, here are some next steps:

*Next Steps*

1. *Consult your doctor*: Schedule a follow-up appointment to reassess your condition.
2. *Cough syrup adjustment*: Ask your doctor if you can switch to a different cough syrup or adjust the dosage.
3. *Pain relief*: For headaches, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil).
4. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of fluids to help thin out mucus and soothe your throat.
5. *Rest*: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

*When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention*

1. *Difficulty breathing*: If you experience shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
2. *Chest pain*: If you have severe chest pain or pressure.
3. *Fever*: If your fever exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for an extended period.
4. *Severe headache*: If your headache is severe, persistent, or accompanied by confusion, disorientation, or stiff neck.

Question 2

I've been dealing with bronchial asthma since 2015, and usually, I just take my rotacapsules when it's hard to breathe. I don't get serious attacks, but there's often a wheezing sound, and breathing gets tough sometimes. Lately, though, I've noticed it's getting worse after meals. My stomach feels tight, and I've had to use my MAXIFLOW 250mg rotacapsules more frequently. Could you help me understand what's going on and how I can manage this better? Are there specific things I should be eating or avoiding to help with this issue?

Question 3

My dad's been dealing with night fevers and body aches for over a month now, like 40 days, and we've done all sorts of tests but haven't found anything concrete. His chest X-ray didn't show much, and the sputum report came back normal. The doctor mentioned that in the second stage of TB, changes can be subtle and hard to catch on X-rays and sputum tests, so he started the second line of TB drugs based on a CECT Scan. I've consulted a few other doctors, and after looking at the report and scan, they're suggesting it might be a reactivation of tuberculosis. Could you take a look at this and tell me if this report is solid enough to confirm TB?

Accepted Answer

Yes,continue all the medications as advised by the physician.
