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 dealing with a cold and running nose issue since I was a kid, and I found out I have asthma in 2016. I've been using that Budamate inhaler twice a day along with Arzep and Metatop nasal sprays. Originally, I used the sprays every day, twice a day, but now I only use them when my cold flares up. So here are my questions: sometimes I get a runny nose right when I wake up. Is it okay to use the Arzep and Metatop nasal sprays on an empty stomach? And can I use the inhaler on an empty stomach too? Another thing, I've been controlling my cold with Arzep, but are there any long-term effects if I keep using these nasal sprays regularly? I'm kinda worried about any side effects.

Continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

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.

Yes.
