Question

I got diagnosed with Pneumonia after catching the Covid19 virus last April 14, 2021. I've been on medication for weeks and started feeling better. But now, whenever I take a deep breath, I notice some discomfort and a bit of pain in the right side of my chest, near the lower rib cage. I work night shifts and this is starting to worry me because it's impacting my job. Could this still be related to what I went through with Pneumonia, or something else?

I'm really worried because I've been having trouble breathing and I often feel uneasy when I breathe. Plus, I've got this cough that's been bothering me for a while. I know it's not tuberculosis, but what else could be causing these symptoms? Should I be checking for something else?

My brother was diagnosed with lung TB in 2021, and after completing treatment, he was clear. But then, just six months later, he got affected again, this time with Pott spine TB. As his family, were worried about whether we might need to get checked too. Ive already done an ESR blood test, and it came back normal, but should we still go for TB screening? Whats your advice on this?
