I'm dealing with COPD and my bosses are pretty worried about me using paint. Do you think it's safe for me to use low odor, water-based paints without having any issues? I'm feeling like it should be okay, but I'd love your thoughts.

Question

So, I had this maid looking after my 1.5-year-old daughter for a few months, but she got sick once, even coughed up blood. I decided to let her go right after. This happened a couple of months back. I went ahead and got some tests done, like a sputum test for tuberculosis, which came back negative. But then she mentioned her dad passed away from TB 14 years ago. She's got a couple of sisters, a mom, and a brother in the family too. We did a digital x-ray and a helical CT chest scan, and those were normal. I'm just wondering, given her symptoms and her family history, is there still a possibility she might have active tuberculosis?

Question

I'm dealing with a cough that's been on and off for about 2 months now. I've gotten tested for COVID, done an HRCT of my chest, and had a complete blood picture (CBP) doneall seem normal except for my white blood cell count, which is at 11500. I also had an X-ray. What should I do next?

Question

Can you help me figure out my PFT report? I've been told I have allergic bronchitis. My x-ray and sputum culture look normal, and I used to smoke but quit. Right now, I'm mainly dealing with throat irritation, coughing, and nasal congestion, but no fever or trouble breathing. What can I do to keep these symptoms from coming back? I'm using kastilex ab tablets and furamist spray. Any advice would be great!
