I'm a bit worried about the X-ray results that mention "haziness" in the left mid and lower zones of my chest. What could this mean? Should I be concerned about it, and what kind of follow-up do you recommend?

The X-ray report indicates haziness in the left mid and lower lung zones, which could suggest inflammation, infection, or a possible buildup of fluid. It's important to correlate this finding with your symptoms and clinical history for a more accurate diagnosis. I recommend discussing the results with your doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm really worried and looking for some advice. It's been 15 days since I started TB medication, but I still have fever, chills, and this persistent dry cough. The meds are supposed to be helping, so I'm confused why these symptoms aren't getting better. Could you please advise on what might be going on or what I should do?

I'm dealing with a dry cough and I've been noticing black phlegm when I cough and sneeze. I don't smoke or drink, so I'm not sure what's causing this. My throat hurts and my voice seems different too. Could you help figure out what's going on?
