Question

I was diagnosed with abdominal TB four months ago, and I'm wondering when my lymph nodes might disappear. How will I know if my TB is cured, and when will that be? I'm feeling okay right now and taking Rcinex 600 and Combutol 800. Is that enough to cure the TB? Ive attached a CT scan for reference. I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB back in 2018 and got treated, but it came back in June 2020. My doctor had me get a chest CT scan, and I attached the report. Can you explain what "collapse consolidated left upper lobe with tiny calcification" means, and why are there still subcentimeter lymph nodes present after treatment? Could this be MDR TB, and how can I check for MDR? I have no cough or weight loss. Also, what does it mean if lymph nodes are heterogeneous?

I'm a bit worried as I recently got a PFT report back, and it mentioned something about Small Airway Obstruction. I've also been dealing with this chronic cough for a while now.

Question

I'm really worried about this issue I've been having with my lungs. A year ago, I had an X-ray that showed my lungs fields are broncho vascular prominent, and I've been experiencing shortness of breath since then. My doctor didn't prescribe any medicine or treatment at the time, and now I'm unsure what to do. Is this condition treatable? What steps should I take to manage my symptoms?

Question

I'm really worried after my CT scan showed that more than 30% of my lungs have moderate damage from Covid. Is this something that can be cured, or should I be super concerned about long-term effects?
