I recently had a chest x-ray because I felt like my lung capacity isn't what it used to be. The results mentioned something about prominent bronchovascular markings, but everything else seems normal. Should I be worried about this at all?

I've been on TB medication for nearly two months, but I'm still coughing up blood. Is this something to be worried about? Is it normal to still have these symptoms, or should I be doing something different?

I've recently had a medical exam and the CT scan shows an inflamed lymph node. The tests for tuberculin skin and IGRA were positive, but Sputum smears and cultures were negative. I did have pneumonia in the left lower lobe back in 2019. Could this inflammation be from that past pneumonia, or is it latent TB? How long does treatment usually take in cases like this?

total 6 months of ATT course, 2months intensive phase and 4 months continous phase
