I'm coughing a lot and my chest feels like it's aching when I do. Should I be worried about this? Is it something serious, or maybe just a normal cold? What do you think could be causing this, and is there anything I should be doing to feel better?

I'm really worried because my latest x-ray showed water in my right lung. I've been dealing with a dry cough and a bit of chest pain when I take a deep breath for the past 8 weeks. Could this be a sign of tuberculosis?

Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised for the diagnosis .
