I'm dealing with a persistent cough and cold that just seems to keep coming back. I've been using Grilinctus syrup, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do? I'm really looking for some advice on how to get over this quickly.

I'm a bit worried. I recently had a plain CT scan of my chest at Apollo Hospital in Chennai and it came back with some concerns. When I went for a medical check-up for Kuwait, the doctor said I was unfit because of something they found on my chest X-ray. They mentioned something about an abnormal chest and blunting in the right chest CP angle, and there's this white scar on the downside of my chest. I was told there's no medicine for it. What should I do to resolve this issue?
The discrepancy between the Apollo Hospital CT scan and the Kuwait medical checkup chest X-ray results suggests a possible error or misinterpretation; the "blunting of right costophrenic angle" and "white scar" may indicate a benign, old, healed lesion or scarring, and since the doctor said no medicine is required, you may want to consider a second opinion or a repeat CT scan to confirm the findings and clarify your fitness for work in Kuwait.

I've been on meds for pulmonary tuberculosis since January 2nd, but I stopped taking them on June 28th without checking in with my doctor. After about ten days, I started them again. Now, I've got some serious chest and stomach pain. Could this be because of how I stopped and started the meds? What should I do?
donot stop tuberculosis medicines, consult your pulmonologist for further treatment process
