I am having severe active tb with heavy cough formation .can I take benadryl cough formula? Will it work to stop the cough formation along with att medicines.

Taking cough syrups may help relieve cough temporarily but the actual relief will be seen only with att. So keep on taking the att under supervision and continue follow ups.

Cold compresses can help reduce swelling in the area. Cooling also helps to numb sharp pain. Apply an ice pack for up to 20 minutes, up to five times a day. Use a frozen gel pack, ice cubes in a plastic bag, or a bag of frozen peas. Wrap the cold pack in a soft towel. Do not apply a cold pack directly to skin.
Heat therapy
heat helps to relax tense muscles and soothe a stiff area. It can help with muscle pain and bonny pain. Use a heated gel pack, heating pad or a hot water bottle.

Hiâ¦ you have lymph node tuberculosis. Is this your first episode or any relapse?â¦ tab akurit-4 4 tablets to be taken empty stomachâ¦ in my opinion levoflox is not indicated. Until there is some intolerance or hepatotoxicity associated with anti tuberculosis therapyâ¦ consult chest physician nearby.
