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 dealing with a cough on and off for about three months now. It always seems to go away when I take antibiotics, but as soon as I have something cold, the cough comes right back with wheezing. I also had an X-ray, and it showed some prominent bronchovascular findings. I'm a 30-year-old female, and I'm starting to get really worried about what's going on. What should I do?

I'm really worried about starting to use a revoliser. My parents keep telling me it's something I'll have to use for the rest of my life, which makes me hesitant to start it even though it's been prescribed to me. They're big believers in Ayurveda, and I wonder if that might be a better option for me. Will I really have to rely on a revoliser forever? Could it become something I get addicted to? Would love some clarity on this.

I'm feeling a bit anxious because I've been having shortness of breath ever since I got my first dose of Covaxin. I did see a doctor, and they suggested I take Broclear and get an X-ray. I got the X-ray results back, and they were mostly normal except for this note about increased bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean, and what steps should I take next?
