Hey, I've been wondering if it's okay to get the Covid vaccine after having completed TB treatment. I wrapped up my TB treatment a year back and I've recovered. Is there anything I should be concerned about, like specific side effects for those who've had TB?

I'm really worried about my friend. She's been suffering from shortness of breath and finds it hard to breathe through her nose. The thing is, she's only 15 and sometimes she also gets chest pain with it. It's been happening quite a lot. Can you please suggest what might be going on or what we should do?

My friend has been dealing with this annoying barking cough for a while now. She's already on cough syrup and doing saltwater gargles, but nothing seems to help. It just keeps coming back and barking every time. Her chest X-ray didnt show anything unusual either. What do you think should be her next move? Any advice would be appreciated.
It maybe viral infection like croup , take antibiotics for secondary infection and over the counter fever or pain medication can help
