I'm dealing with a diagnosis of TB lymphadenitis and it's got me worried that I might pass it on to my family. Is there a risk of transmission? Also, can this condition be identified with a sputum test?

I'm wondering if Duolin helps clear mucus from my airways. If so, where does the mucus go once it's cleared? Does it pass out through feces or does it just dry up in the airways?

Yes it helps in clearing the mucus, Usually it comes out with cough or gets dried up there.

I'm feeling worried because I've been having this cough and a kind of vibration in my chest when I breathe, mainly at night or in the morning. I took cetcip l as my doctor suggested, and it seemed to help, but the symptoms came back just a day after finishing the medication. Should I be concerned about this? Is it something serious?

not that much serious

I'm reaching out because I previously asked about this and got a response saying that the Seretide Accuhaler has no side effects. But my brother has been using it, and he's having a tough time with what seem to be side effects. I'm really worried and wondering if there's an alternative treatment he could try. Can you help with some advice?
