I was diagnosed with TB after they found a left pleural effusion and completed a 6-month treatment, using Acurit4 for 2 months and Acurit3 for the other 4 months. Now everything's good and I don't have any symptoms. I'm wondering, is it safe for me to get the COVID vaccine now? Is there a specific one I should be going for, like Covishield or Covaxin?

I've been having this wheezing issue since last night and it's never happened to me before. There's a lot of construction near my place, and it's super dusty. Now I've got a wheezing cough with greenish phlegm, and it's really tough to breathe. What could be going on?

I'm really concerned about my breathing issues because I've been diagnosed with Interstitial Lung Disease and it's causing a lot of flare-ups. Could you help me understand what Usual Interstitial Pneumonia is? How can I manage or prevent these flare-ups in my lungs? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and would really appreciate some advice.

My husband finished 6 months of medication for mediastinal lymph node TB, and I've attached his reports. Originally, his node was 7cm by 3cm. During this period, he gained 9kg, and while he used to have a fever, thats gone now and his cough is a bit better. But he still coughs around 30 times a day, and I'm counting each one. Could it be something serious like cancer since his cough hasn't completely cleared up yet?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
