I was diagnosed with abdominal TB four months ago, and I'm wondering when my lymph nodes might disappear. How will I know if my TB is cured, and when will that be? I'm feeling okay right now and taking Rcinex 600 and Combutol 800. Is that enough to cure the TB? Ive attached a CT scan for reference. I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB back in 2018 and got treated, but it came back in June 2020. My doctor had me get a chest CT scan, and I attached the report. Can you explain what "collapse consolidated left upper lobe with tiny calcification" means, and why are there still subcentimeter lymph nodes present after treatment? Could this be MDR TB, and how can I check for MDR? I have no cough or weight loss. Also, what does it mean if lymph nodes are heterogeneous?

I'm really worried about my recovery from covid. I had mild symptoms and didn't have any breathing issues, but now, even after 30 days since the symptoms began, I'm experiencing some pain in my back and chest. My D-dimer level is 1.12, and I'm anxious about when this will come down and when I'll feel completely normal again. I'm concerned about potential post-covid complications. Is this something I should be worried about, or is this a normal part of the recovery process?
