Question

I'm curious about something... After finishing the treatment for tuberculosis, are there any marks left on the lungs? Could these marks cause any problems in the future? Is it possible to live a normal life with these marks on the lungs? Also, what are some ways to take care if there are marks left on the lungs?

Question

My dad has been dealing with COPD and asthma for the past decade, and now hes got to use oxygen at home around the clock. Were using a cylinder with the supply kept at point 1, but Im wondering if switching to an oxygen concentrator would be a good idea. Would an oxygen concentrator be enough for his needs, or should we stick with the cylinder?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I had a chest infection and hemoptysis back in 2016, but antibiotics worked then. In April 2017, I experienced more hemoptysis, and the culture showed MTB for Pulmonary ATB, which I completed 9 months of medication for. Since then, I've sometimes had blood in my cough which the doctor said is from a scar. But today, I sneezed and there was blood again. My doctor advised taking Pause 500 in these situations. Is it normal to have blood in my cough after TB or could this be a new infection?

Question

I'm having trouble breathing and feel like I'm half yawning a lot for the past three days. I had corona about a month ago but don't have any symptoms of it now. I'm just yawning continuously, even after sleeping for 12 hours. I'm really worried and can't figure out what's going on. Can anyone help guide me?
