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?

My mom is 65 and she's been dealing with a really bad cough for the past two months. We got an x-ray done, and the doctor said we need to do a CT scan. They found a nodule about 6.7mm by 6.2mm in the upper lobe of her right lung. It's non-calcified, and I'm really worried. Does this mean there's a high chance it could be cancer, or could it be something like bronchitis or pneumonia instead?

I've quit smoking about two months back, and after about a week, I started experiencing some uncomfortable symptoms like chest pain, coughing, insomnia, and really intense dreams. I also find it hard to swallow and sometimes feel short of breath. Is this normal, or should I be worried?
