Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a stabbing pain in the chest while taking TB treatment with four types of drugs (DOTS) for one and a half months. Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
This pain can be due to fluid in the pleural space, due to pleurisy, or due to a cardiac cause. I suggest you take the tablet Combiflam (Ibuprofen and Paracetamol), twice a day for five days.
Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with their consent. Meanwhile, get an ECG (electrocardiogram) and chest X-ray done, and let me know.
Kindly revert for further queries.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
