I was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis 6 years ago and took ATT for 6 months but then I stopped. I'm not sure if the TB is completely gone. How can I check if I'm in the clear now?

View allI'm 23 and have had issues with bronchitis in the past. I used to rely on an Asthaline inhaler whenever I felt breathless. A few months ago, I went to a different doctor who gave me Formonide 200, and I found it worked way better than Asthaline. I haven't needed Asthaline since I started using Formonide, but yesterday I needed it again and it didn't give me long-term relief. I'm curious about why Asthaline isn't as effective anymore and if I should stick with Formonide or consider something else. What do you think?
It seems that your bronchitis symptoms may have worsened or changed over time. While **Formonide 200** (a steroid inhaler) may provide better long-term relief, the **Asthaline inhaler** (a bronchodilator) is used for immediate symptom relief but may not provide sustained effects. I recommend discussing your symptoms with your doctor, as a long-term management plan with the appropriate medication may be needed.

I've been noticing black mucus when I clear my throat recently. It happened last week too, and now it's happening again today. It's a bit worrying to see this, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could you help me understand why this might be happening?
That could be due to dust or blood clot,as it is not frequent,no need to worry,maintain healthy lifestyle,if its becoming worse,visit Physician for appropriate management

I've had COVID twice, once in September 2020 and again in April 2021. Since then, I've been feeling quite breathless. I'm worried if there might be any underlying disease causing this or if this is just a common after-effect of the virus. Can you help me understand what's going on?
it is common after covid. start steam inhalation
