  5. I got diagnosed with Tuberculosis in Amritsar and recently moved to Delhi for better treatment. The new doctor here told me to keep taking the red medicine I got from the government hospital in Amritsar. I did another x-ray, and the report says there's still fluid in my lungs, but the doctor mentioned it should dry up on its own. It's been 15 days on this medication, but I'm still having trouble breathing, keep getting fevers, and my chest hurts a lot. Do you think I should consider fluid aspiration?
