My son is 3 and a half years old diagnosed with spinal tb. He had recurring fever and localized lower back pain. There was pain in his legs behind the knees and stiffness. He had difficulty walking. His gait was antalgic. His mri showed l5 s1 affected with epidural abscess. Mis bilateral decompression was done. They started him on att 3fdc (pyrazinamide 450 mg, rifampicin 225 mg, isoniazid 150 mg based on his weight 15.6 kg) and wysolone 25 mg (steroid prescribed for 1 month and gradually tapered and stopped at the end of 2 and a half months). After 3 months there was a recurrence in tb which spread to l4 and l3. To make the spine stable we have done instrumentation. Is this recurrence due to wysolone?

I am 22 years old and facing difficulty in deep breathing, and shortness of breathe on speaking ,from 1 year, I visited puomonologists at first and did following reports- 1.) re blood - eosinophilic high 2.) chest x ray - normal 3.) ecg heart- normal 4.) 2d echo- normal 5.) hrct thorax - normal so he gave me anti allergic tablets (q mont, for 1 month, and steroid predmet for 5 days) but the problem was still there so I visited ent, and on laryngoscopy was found that right arytenoid overrides vocal cord on phonation, which was the reason for my breathing problems on speaking. But why was this arytenoid overriding, the cause was not identified. Today I again did re blood and the report was that- differential leucocyte count 1) segmented neutrophil- 33.13%(40-80%) 2) lymphocytes- 45.40%(20-40) 3.) eosinophilic- 13.20%(1-6%) absolute count 1.neutrophil- 2.55 thousand /mm3 (2-7) 2.lymphocytes-3.50 (1-3) 3.eosinophilic-1.02 (0.02-0.50) what should be done.

I am 17 years old boy and now I am suffering from severe cough and blocked runny nose. My problem is when I cough in the morning before 9 am some blood is coming out and there are no signs of blood in cough for the rest of the day. Dry cough and difficult in breathing are other problems of mine. I am taking azithromycin, pantoprazole and montefex as advised by a general physician. I think it may be acute bronchitis or something but I am afraid of the blood in the morning cough. Is it due to pressure on my throat or something else please advise me. I have done x-ray and doctor said that there is cough in my chest and wbc is of 12.96 and gram +ve cocci in my cough. please help me.
you need budamate 200 MCG. mdi 1puff twice daily to continue. rinse your mouth with drinking water 5 minutes after inhalation

Hi. I am 26 year old. I am having a persistent cough from last 20 days. But from last 7 days as I try to get the phelgem out by taking deep breath .so that the phelgem from the nose moves to the throat. And as I spit. Blood comes in it. Whenever I have a sensation to out the phelgem only that time I do it. I am doing it deliberately I was taking novamox 625 encet d plus.
If. Scanty, it is due. To. Irritation in throat. If blood is significant go for sputum for afb& cbnaat. Test.
