I'm dealing with pretty bad eosinophilia post nasal drip, and I've been taking a combination of meds including Pulmoclear, azithromycin, Norvent D syrup, Duolin Forte inhaler, Hetrazan, and some mucaine gel syrup for the last three days. I'm still coughing nonstop, day and night, and it's really affecting my sleep and appetite. I'm worried and not sure if I'm on the right track with the treatment or if there's something else I should be doing. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what I could possibly do to feel better?

I'm really worried about an infiltrate found in the right upper lobe of my lung and I'm not quite sure what it means. The report mentioned something about small granulomata near the right second rib and the right hilum being slightly retracted upwards. Could this be something serious, and what should I do next?

I'm dealing with tuberculosis and I'm a bit confused. My PCR test came back positive but the culture report was negative. Also, after one month of treatment, my sputum test is negative too. I've already completed two months of treatment. What does this all mean? Should I be worried about the differing test results?

I've been experiencing some random chest pain since I got over COVID back in May. It usually hits around the ribs or near my heart. I've had an ECG and echo, and even a stress echo, and everything came back fine. But now, with the colder weather, I feel this mild pain in my chest when I cough or do om pranayam, mainly in the heart area. My cardiologist thinks it's muscular, but I'm wondering if it could be something lung-related instead. Are there any tests I should consider to figure out if it's a lung issue or really just muscular?
