Question

I've had a wet cough for the past five days, and this morning I noticed there was blood when I spat. I quit smoking about 20 days ago, and I'm really concerned about what's going on. Can you help me figure out what might be happening?

Question

I've been sneezing nonstop and it's hard to breathe. I was taking Medrol 4mg, and now I have chest and back pain. I had an MRI done for my chest and lungs, and it showed there's an infection. What could be causing all this? Do I need to be worried about the infection spreading or getting worse? What should my next steps be?

Question

I had a right-sided pleural effusion back in July 2015, and even though I'm off medication now, I still feel pain on the right side when I take a deep breath or yawn. It doesn't feel normal. My last ESR was 10, done in January 2016. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Question

I'm getting really concerned about my health. Last August, after losing a lot of weight, I tested positive for TB Gold. I tried Ayurvedic treatment and it seemed to help because by 2021 my results were negative. But now, I'm losing weight again and my tests are showing positive for tuberculosis. An ultrasound even showed Kochs tuberculosis. I'm really worried and wondering what medicines I could take for this. Any advice?
