I recently got a chest X-ray, and it showed increased broncho vascular markings near the para cardiac and para hilar areas. I'm worried if this could be related to TB. Are these markings like scars on the lungs or something else?

I recently came across an old x-ray report that mentions 'healed tuberculosis,' and I'm honestly quite concerned. Does this mean that I still have active TB, or does it signify something else? Am I currently dealing with tuberculosis in any way? Just trying to understand what this really implies for my health.

Normal,nothing to worry ok.

My husband has active Tuberculosis and he's having a really hard time sleeping at night because of his intense coughing. It's gotten to the point where our six-month-old son and I can't sleep either since we all share the same room. I'm really concerned and was wondering if theres a way to help manage his cough so we can all get some rest. What should I do?
