I'm a 20-year-old student and I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past 10 years. Every April, I struggle with breathlessness and a lot of mucus in my chest, it gets pretty congested. I don't eat anything that would increase mucus, just stick to simple homemade foods, but it keeps happening. I use a nebulizer to help out, but I'm worried if this is something I'm going to have to deal with for life. Do you know if there's any way to cure this or make it better?

I'm curious about something. I've been randomly checking my SpO2 levels in the morning and at night. In the morning, they're usually between 97 to 99, but at night they go from 94 to 98. I'm not running a fever or anything. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?

no it is not, donot worry it might due to temperature changes also

I'm experiencing a runny nose and occasionally a cough since yesterday, and now there's this wheezing sound coming from my chest. Could this be asthma? Should I consider using an inhaler, even though I'm not having trouble breathing?

do chest xray and pulmonary function test

I've recently had a medical exam and the CT scan shows an inflamed lymph node. The tests for tuberculin skin and IGRA were positive, but Sputum smears and cultures were negative. I did have pneumonia in the left lower lobe back in 2019. Could this inflammation be from that past pneumonia, or is it latent TB? How long does treatment usually take in cases like this?

total 6 months of ATT course, 2months intensive phase and 4 months continous phase
