Why haven't my cough and thick sputum gone away even after 10 years since taking CAT1? Now I've been diagnosed with MDR, and although I don't have major issues apart from the constant coughing, it's really persistent, especially in the morning. I also get tired easily throughout the day. Could this lingering cough be related to MDR, and is it normal to feel this tired all the time? Should I be worried about missing chest pains or aches? What can I do to manage this better?

Hey, I hope you can help me out here. I recently moved from Kolkata to Assam, and I'm having a tough time finding the medications I've been prescribed. I used to take Digihaler FB200, Cilapam LS, and Clonil 10 in Kolkata, but none of the pharmacies around here seem to stock them. Can you suggest any alternatives with the same ingredients? Im quite worried because I need to continue my treatment without interruption.

instead of digihaler, use foracort inhaler . rest ask for the same medicine

I'm dealing with pulmonary TB and my doctor has included Benadon 40mg in my treatment plan. I'm a bit worried because I'm not sure what would happen if I accidentally took two doses of Benadon at once. Could it cause any problems or side effects?

Ideally nothing happens for once,but better be cautious further

I've been wondering about something. If a person can hold their breath for 30 to 40 seconds, does that mean their lungs are in good health? Is this actually true, or is it just a myth? I'd really like to know what you think.

Do pulmonary function test if u want to know your lungs are healthy
