I'm 17 and I've had a fever ranging between 97.7 to 100 for a year now. My doctor said it's pleurisy from TB and I've been on TB meds like Akurit4 and Rcinex. The pleurisy fluid's gone and I've gained weight, but the fever hasn't stopped. Now my neck is swollen on the left side for the past 20 days. What could be going on?

I've been dealing with bronchial asthma since 2015, and usually, I just take my rotacapsules when it's hard to breathe. I don't get serious attacks, but there's often a wheezing sound, and breathing gets tough sometimes. Lately, though, I've noticed it's getting worse after meals. My stomach feels tight, and I've had to use my MAXIFLOW 250mg rotacapsules more frequently. Could you help me understand what's going on and how I can manage this better? Are there specific things I should be eating or avoiding to help with this issue?

I'm really concerned about my wife. Back in 2020, she got Covid, and ever since then, she's been having these breathing issues. It's not constant but comes and goes, like she's fine for a few days, and then suddenly, she feels breathless with chest pain and heaviness. We've done all the testslike for asthma and chest X-raysand everything came back clear. We even tried an ayurvedic doctor who suggested it might be due to some cough in her chest, which he said was odd since the X-rays were normal. Strangely, his medicine seemed to help for a while. But now, the problem is back, and I doubt it's cough-related because she doesnt have a cold or fever. I'm at a loss and would really appreciate any suggestions or advice on what else we can do to figure this out. Could it be something post-Covid related that we're missing?

there might be some post covid issues. try yoga, breathing exercises. if still problem isnot resolved consult a pulmonologist
