Question

I've just finished six months of TB meds in May, but I'm really worried because I'm having trouble breathing on the right side of my lung, where I had some moderate pleural effusion. It's a struggle to breathe normally, and when I take a deep breath, my right lung hurts a lot. Could you please guide me on what might be happening and suggest any medication that could help?

Question

I've had a minimal PTB condition about 20 years ago and completed all the meds back then, but my latest X-ray just came back saying there's minimal PTB in the left upper lobe with undetermined activity. Should I be concerned about this result? What does 'undetermined activity' mean and could the PTB have come back, or could it be something else? I'm really worried and would appreciate your advice on what steps I should take next.
