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?

I'm a bit concerned about something. Last year, I had Covid-related pneumonia and since then, I've been feeling fine with no breathing problems, but there's something odd going on. Whenever I get a chest X-ray, the results mention that both my hila are congested, even though I don't feel congested at all. I occasionally have a light, dry cough, but nothing major. Do you think I need to worry about this or get some kind of treatment?

I've been experiencing this issue where I cough up blood sometimes in the morning. I went to the doctor, and they said all my tests like blood work and X-ray look fine, even checked my bulgum. But I constantly feel like I have a cough stuck in my throat area. What could be causing this if all my reports are fine? Should I be worried about something else?
