I'm a 39-year-old homemaker, and I've been feeling really congested in my chest lately. It feels heavy, and I'm also dealing with a dry cough. My weight is about 58 kg. What kind of treatment or medicine would you suggest for these symptoms? I'm starting to get a bit worried, and I just want to feel better.

I've been diagnosed with Tuberculosis Pleural Effusion after some tests and a chest X-ray. I'm 35, generally healthy, and don't smoke or drink. The doctor has me on Rcinex, one capsule every morning on an empty stomach with Rifampin 450 mg and Isoniazid 300 mg for the first two months, and then the plan is to continue for a total of six months. I'm wondering if this treatment is enough to get rid of the TPE completely. I'm also feeling like my immunity has taken a hit, and I'm not sure how to boost it. Can you help me understand if this is the right approach for my situation?
enough continue same treatment, for immunity stop junk and drink warm water

Is it true that 90% of our lungs can get damaged just from carbon molecules without them even doing anything? I'm kind of worried about what this means for overall lung health and how we can protect ourselves from this damage. Any advice on how we can prevent this or keep our lungs in better shape?
Yes ,Carbon monoxide can cause lung damage by preventing oxygen from reaching the blood-stream.
