Question

I recently had a chest X-ray, and the results mentioned unwanted bronchovascular markings. I'm a bit worried because this has delayed my gallstone surgery. Can you help me understand what these findings mean and if it's something serious?

Question

Hey, I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with type 2 diabetes for a while now and recently, about 3 months back, he got diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. He didn't tell anyone in our family because he thought it was just a regular cough and cold. But when things didn't get better, we had him tested, and it turned out to be TB. The chest X-ray and CT scan show a significant infection in both his lungs, with consolidation and cavitation, but thankfully no pleural or pericardial effusion. Now he's also got pneumonia because of all this. He's been on DOTS treatment for the last 10 days, but he's still coughing up phlegm. I'm anxious to know when we might start seeing some improvement in his condition. Could you shed some light on this?

I have lung tuberculosis and noticed two lymph nodes on my neck. I've been taking my TB meds for nearly 3 months, but those lymph nodes are still there. It's been about 2 months, and I'm getting really worried about them. Could you tell me if this is something I should be concerned about?

Question

Is it okay to drink milk if I have a cough or asthma? I've heard mixed things about it possibly making things worse, like increased mucus production. Is that true? Just trying to figure out if I'm better off avoiding it when my symptoms are acting up.
