I was diagnosed with TB back in May 2019, finished treatment by March, but I've been feeling breathless again. The CT showed scars and calcification, and now, a year later, these issues have come back. Could this mean I'm developing Pulmonary Fibrosis?

View allHey, my father-in-law, who's 63, was admitted on an oxygen bed on May 1st with a saturation level of 88. He tested positive for Covid19 and he's been getting treated in the hospital. Yesterday, his oxygen was at 15 liters, and his saturation was about 95, but today it's dropped back to 88 without oxygen support. The hospital suggested he might be discharged in 2 days since he's been physically good and active. So I'm really wondering, should we be worried about this drop in saturation? Is it something unusual or potentially dangerous? And is it safe for him to be discharged after just 2 days? I'm trying to understand if an oxygen level of 88 is bad or if it's something normal with recovering patients?

I'm just wondering how long it'll take for the tiredness and sleepiness to go away after starting TB meds. It's only been a couple of days since starting treatment, but I'm feeling really wiped out and uneasy all day. Is this normal, and how soon might I start to feel better?
he should take good amount of nutritious food

I'm really concerned about this cold and cough that keeps coming back, especially with breathing problems at night and in the early morning for the past three weeks. I saw a general physician and the medicine worked for a week, but the breathing issue starts up again as soon as I stop taking it. What should I do about this?
It sounds like you may have asthma or an allergic airway condition triggered by cold or night-time air. I recommend consulting a pulmonologist for a proper evaluation, including spirometry. Continuing appropriate long-term treatment, like inhalers, may help prevent recurrence.
