I'm dealing with a dry cough and just found out my blood SGPT level is 60.5. I'm really worried and wondering if there's any link between this and bronchovascular lung disease. What should I be aware of?

Your SGPT level of 60.5 indicates mild liver stress, which might be unrelated to your dry cough. However, a persistent dry cough can sometimes hint at bronchovascular issues or lung conditions, which could indirectly affect overall health. It's best to consult a doctor for a detailed evaluation and management plan.

I was wondering how long a fever usually lasts after starting treatment for TB. My wife began her treatment with AKT 4 on March 2, 2017, but she's still getting fevers up to 101 once a day. Is this normal? How long does it typically take for the fever to subside after starting treatment?

it might take 3-4 hours after treatment started

I'm really concerned because I was a smoker for about 6 years, usually having around 5 cigarettes a day, but I quit almost a year ago because of this upper back pain that's been bothering me. The weird thing is, even after a year, the pain is still there. I've done checkups and seen a number of doctors, but they just tell me it's stress-related and suggest exercise, which hasn't helped at all. Now, for the past 15 days, I've been experiencing breathing issues, like when I take the stairs or even when I'm just sitting or sleeping. The breathing problems come along with the upper back pain. I'm really worried about these symptoms and would love some advice on how to get relief. What could be going on?
