I'm currently undergoing TB treatment, and it's been about three weeks. I've been feeling really weak and lethargic, I've lost some weight, and I'm experiencing fever, chills, and a tight feeling in my chest. Also, my alkaline phosphate level is up to 129 uL. I'm just wondering if there's a way to get better results or faster relief with my treatment. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

View allI've noticed that black mucus is coming out, but I'm not experiencing any other discomfort. I'm not a smoker either, so I'm a bit confused about what could be causing this. Is this something I should be worried about, and could you suggest which type of doctor I should see for this issue?
Black mucus can be caused by various factors, including environmental pollution, dust, or fungal infections, and in non-smokers, it may also be related to conditions like bronchitis, asthma, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), so it's recommended to consult a pulmonologist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment, and in the meantime, consider keeping a symptom journal and avoiding exposure to pollutants.

I'm about to start a job in the Gulf, and I recently had a chest x-ray that showed a little grey color. I'm worried it might cause issues during the medical test for my job. Do you think it's okay to go ahead with the medical test as it is, or should I consider getting treatment first? Any advice would really help.
