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?

View allI've recently had a medical exam and the CT scan shows an inflamed lymph node. The tests for tuberculin skin and IGRA were positive, but Sputum smears and cultures were negative. I did have pneumonia in the left lower lobe back in 2019. Could this inflammation be from that past pneumonia, or is it latent TB? How long does treatment usually take in cases like this?

I've had a persistent cough for the past three years along with frequent throat infections and mouth ulcers. I recently had sinus surgery, but the cough hasn't gone away. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should look into?
Also called upper airway cough syndrome, postnasal drip is a common cause of a long-lasting cough. Allergies, viruses, dust, chemicals, or inflammation can irritate your nasal membranes and trigger runny mucus that drips out of your nose and down your throat. This makes you cough, especially at night when you lie down
