Question

I'm really worried because even though my chest X-ray came back normal, I've been having breathing problems for several days now. My oxygen level was 96 just yesterday, and I'm not sure if that's okay. Plus, my lymphocytes are a little high. Can an X-ray miss something serious? What should I do?

Question

Hey, my father-in-law just found out he tested positive for COVID and his oxygen saturation levels are hovering around 92, 93, sometimes 94. Do you think we need to get him to the hospital right away, or is it okay to wait? I'm really worried and would appreciate your advice on this.

Question

I'm still dealing with a mild cough even after finishing 5 months of ATT treatment, and I've gained 7kg with a general sense of well-being. But I'm a bit concerned because my mediastinal lymph node is still somewhat enlarged and the cough hasn't gone away. Is it possible to take corticosteroids after finishing TB treatment, especially since they helped me with my cough before the TB diagnosis?

Question

I've had this whistling sound whenever I forcefully exhale from my lungs since childhood. I don't have any breathing difficulties, but it also happens when I laugh really hard. Is this something I should be worried about?
