Question

I'm a bit worried about my mom's mountox test results. It showed some induration with measurements of 15mm and 18mm. I'm not sure what these numbers mean. Should we be looking at starting some kind of treatment?

Question

I've been dealing with a lingering cough thats been sticking around for a while. Lately, I've noticed I'm coughing up blood, which has me pretty worried. I did a sputum test for AFB and it came back negative, and I was prescribed some antibiotics. While the coughing up blood has decreased, it hasn't disappeared completely. What are some steps I can take to completely get rid of this blood in my sputum and the cough?

My brother was dealing with tuberculosis, and he finished his medication a few months back. But now, he's having this pain in his lungs, especially when he yawns, takes deep breaths, or sneezes. This started after he completed the medication course, and it's got me a bit concerned. It's been three months since he stopped the treatment. Any idea what could be causing this?
