I've been dealing with this nonstop coughing for the last three days because of a cold, and it's honestly so annoying. It's making it really hard to sleep, and it happens every time I get sick. I struggle to cough up the mucus; it's like I'm trying, but nothing comes out. I've already tried different cough syrups and antibiotics, but nothing seems to work. What do you think is going on, and what else can I try?

Question

I've been dealing with this leftover issue in my lungs after having the flu for a few days. It's day 5 now, and I feel okay overall, but I have this annoying frog in my throat. It used to be a sore throat, but now it only hurts when I cough. The big concern is when I try to inhale, I can't fully expand my lungs, and I'm wheezing when I breathe out. Could this be acute bronchitis? Do you think I need to see a doctor about it?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about this shortness of breath I keep experiencing, especially after 3 pm nearly every day. I find myself needing to take deep breaths or breathe through my mouth, and sometimes my chest hurts because of it. I've been dealing with this off and on since 2014, but it wasn't as frequent back then, and my doctor said I was fine. Now it's happening daily, and I'm not sure what to make of it. Is there something specific that could be causing this? I drink water regularly and try to stay healthy, so it's puzzling why this keeps occurring.

Question

I'm really worried because I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB last October and just finished a 9-month ATT. I was in close contact with my wife the whole time. Is there a chance I could have spread it to her before or during my treatment? I'm concerned because they never did a sputum test on meI didnt have a cough or any other symptoms. My Mantoux test was positive, and a CT scan showed multiple lumps. They did an EBUS TBNA too. Right now, my wife doesnt show any symptoms, but should we be concerned?
