I'm experiencing some chest congestion and it's making it hard for me to breathe properly. I don't have a cold, cough, or any fever, but I find myself having to take deep breaths and sometimes even need to open my mouth to get a good breath in. What could be going on here? Any ideas or suggestions?

I'm really worried about him. He recently got over COVID but now has this lung infection. His HCRT was at 1525 back in May, but when he got out of the hospital at the end of the month, it was down to 1125. His other tests like CRP and D-dimer seem normal, but he's been having some issues. He gets constipated, and in the mornings, he starts coughing a lot which gets better after he freshens up and burps. Similar thing happens after dinner; he coughs until he belches and then it's like back to normal. He keeps feeling like there's something stuck in his neck. Plus, he's type 2 diabetic, which concerns me. Can you suggest some medication or treatment that might help him?

I'm curious to know if I might have received the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis in my childhood. Is it a typical practice in India to get it along with other childhood vaccines? My parents can't remember either. Plus, whats the recommended test if I want to check for TB now? Should I go for the Tuberculin Skin Test or the TB Blood test, specifically the Quantiferon one?
Do CBNAAT to confirm it
