I'm a bit worried about what it means when they say there's a calcified lesion in the right hilum. Is it something serious? Should I be considering any tests or medication for this? Just trying to understand if I need to be concerned.

View allI'm traveling right now and I have asthma, but I forgot to bring my Foracort 100 medicine. I do have Tiova, Seroflo, and Salbair with me because my mom uses them. Can I take any of these instead of Foracort? Please let me know as soon as you can.
Use Seroflo as a substitute for Foracort. It will help with both controlling inflammation and keeping your airways open. Use Salbair for immediate relief if you're having difficulty breathing or experiencing an asthma attack.

I'm really worried about my mom. She had an X-ray done because of a recommendation from a clinic doctor, and the report mentioned something like haziness in the right middle and lower lung zones, possibly pneumonitis. When we took the report back to the same doctor, she said it's TB and gave us a prescription, including something called AKT FD KIT for 30 days, Prohance powder to take twice with milk, and Becosules for a month. I'm just not sure if we should start this 6-month treatment right away. Do you think it's a good idea to get a second opinion before starting the medication? What do you advise?
Advised sputum for AFB ,microscopy and CBNAAT study for the confimation.If positive ATT is advised for 6 months duration.
