View allI'm really concerned about my health after having TB about a year ago. There was water collected around my lungs which was drained during treatment, around 2500 ml in total. My treatment started on May 31, 2016, and ended on April 10, 2017. Now I've noticed that there's a thin and dry layer around my left lung. My doctor said the treatment is complete, but I'm worried about this layer. Can you please advise me on what I should do next?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having this thick, yellow, milky mucus with a little bit of blood in it from his nose in the mornings. The rest of the day, there's no blood, just yellow-green mucus, even though it's been two weeks since he started antibiotics. He was prescribed Azithromycin for five days and Doxycycline twice daily. Twice he coughed up some blood, but it stopped on the same day. Now, he's mostly coughing up white, thick phlegm. This started after his fever went away. What do you think might be going on? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been coughing since December and I sent his CT scan and FNAC test reports. The FNAC report mentions tuberculosis and sarcoidosis, but no AFB was found. The doctor said it's tuberculosis and prescribed Akurit4, some Benadon, and the Maxiflo inhaler. But his sputum and blood tests didn't show TB. Could it really be tuberculosis? I'm really concerned and was hoping to get some advice.
since fnac has confirmed, its tuberculosis only
