I'm a bit confused about these HRCT scans. Are an HRCT chest and HRCT lungs the same thing, or do they look for different issues? I'm trying to figure out if they cover different parts of the body or serve different purposes. Could you explain this to me? I'm feeling a bit anxious and want to understand what's going on.

I've had a cough that just won't go awayit's been over 3 weeks now. I usually get coughs like this every winter, but this time I went for a Chest X-Ray to check for TB at a hospital in Delhi, and thankfully, I was told I don't have it. But then, I saw a pulmonologist with MBBS and DTCD who suggested I do a Montoux test, and now they're saying it's TB. Should I be doing more tests to be sure? If I start on medication, how often do I need to see the doctor for check-ups? Also, is it okay for me to travel outside the country while I continue the treatment?

now ask her to take hot water only. the medicine which she took is best. if it still persists then take tablet. mucinac for 5 days
