I had tuberculosis back in April 2016 and took medication for 9 months, including Streptomycin 1gm, Combutol 800, and Rcin 450, until February 15. Now I've got a bit of a cough and some pain again. Do you think it might be TB again? And how likely is it to be MDR-TB if it is? I'm really worried about this.

I've been having a dry cough for a few days now, and I'm using Zedex cough syrup as my local doctor suggested. The problem is, the phlegm isn't coming up when I cough; it just stays in my chest, which is why the coughing won't stop. Could you offer any advice on what I can do about this?

I'm dealing with some breathing issues, like shortness of breath, and it's been more than 10 years. I've gone to various doctors, and they said it's allergies. So, I went to see a pulmonologist. They suggested I do FENO and PFT tests. My FENO result came back as 19 ppb, and PFT was normal. They gave me a Foracart 200 inhaler and some meds for allergies, but it's been five days and I haven't noticed a difference. Should I be worried, or could this take more time? What should I do next?

I'm dealing with asthma, but for the past 45 months, I've been feeling breathless constantly. There's a lot of yawning and burping happening too. I had an X-ray, which showed everything's fine. I've tried nebulization and other treatments my doctor recommended, but nothing seems to work. Could you offer some advice on what might be happening?

continue the same until symptoms exacerbated, if symptoms exacerbated take inhaler
