I'm trying to understand the details of my recent report. It mentions my heart size is normal, my lungs show prominent broncho vascular markings, and both domes and costophrenic angles are clear. Can you explain what this all means and if theres anything I should be concerned about?

Question

I've come across my friend's medical report, and I'm a bit puzzled about what it says. It mentions a "Specimen sputum" and that no pathogenic organisms were isolated after 18 to 24 hours of incubation. Could you help me understand what this means exactly? Is it a good sign, or should we be worried about anything?

Question

I'm wondering about my situation with TB. I've been on the AKT 4 kit for 35 days now and have kept myself quarantined this whole time, always wearing a mask. Is it safe for me to stop wearing the mask and be around my family? I'm just a bit anxious about making sure I'm not putting them at risk.

Question

I'm having trouble breathing for the past two months. It feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen to my head or legs, and my throat feels heavy with some chest discomfort. I've also had a cold for the same duration, but it's more of a stuffed nose than a runny nose. Antibiotics didnt help much. My doctor did an ECG and X-ray, and everything came out fine. She mentioned it might be an allergy and prescribed Allegra and some acid reflux meds for ten days. I felt better but not fully recovered. I stopped the medication on May 18th and can still do an hour of exercise daily, but the cold persists. There's a post-nasal drip, and the mucus feels stuck in my throat. I'm also finding my breaths shallow, needing to take deep breaths occasionally. What should I do next?
