I'm a bit anxious after getting my TB report. It says MTB not detected and RIF not detected. Could you help me understand what these results mean? Plus, there's something about Ac status P mentioned. What's that all about?

I'm really worried because I've been struggling with shortness of breath for the past six months, especially at night, and it's making it impossible for me to sleep. I had a pulmonary test and they mentioned something about pneumobilia. Can you explain what that is and what might be causing this?

I've been dealing with bronchial asthma for a few days now, and I've realized that being around a lot of dust and my pet, who's shedding more than usual, might be making it worse. I've been using budamate 200 transcaps for a while and taking Montiar LC for my allergies. Just bought some piriton syrup and broncocin 200SR with an old prescription and started them last night, but I'm not noticing much improvement. I'm also anxious, which isn't helping my breathing problems. Could you suggest if I should switch inhalers or recommend an antibiotic that might help? Looking forward to your advice.

avoid dust and drink warm water , stay hydrated

I'm a bit confused about how to take the mucinac 600 that was prescribed to me. Is it okay to dissolve it in warm water, or is there a specific way I should be taking it? Would appreciate some guidance!
