I've been dealing with tuberculosis and have been on medication consistently. I'm really curious, how long does it usually take for these TB tablets to fully dissolve and be absorbed in my body?

Question

I've been having trouble breathing and it feels like I really have to work hard just to inhale properly. I'm also yawning a lot and constantly have this urge to take deep, long breaths, which isn't normal for me. It's kind of worrying. Could this be something serious? What might be going on with my breathing?

Question

I'm really worried about my grandmother. She's got an infection in her left lung, and now that lung isn't working. She's been on a ventilator, and they've done broncoscopy twice on that lung. But she's still unconscious and dealing with an electrolyte imbalance alongside that lung infection. Are there any methods or treatments that could help get her lung functional again?

Question

I'm getting a bit worried here. So, about 10 days ago, I had a viral fever and a cough. The fever went away, but this cough is still sticking around. And every morning, I'm noticing that I'm coughing up some orange mucus. I used to be a smoker but quit recently, though I still smoke occasionally. Should I be concerned about this cough and the orange mucus, or is it just part of the healing process? What should I do?
