I'm feeling a bit anxious because I've been having shortness of breath ever since I got my first dose of Covaxin. I did see a doctor, and they suggested I take Broclear and get an X-ray. I got the X-ray results back, and they were mostly normal except for this note about increased bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean, and what steps should I take next?

Question

I'm 27 and have been on TB treatment for a couple of months now. It all started with lymph nodes popping up in my neck, and tests showed it was Koch's. They gave me AKt 4, but it caused skin rashes and headaches, so I had to stay in the hospital for about 15 days. Now I'm on COMBUNEX 800, CLARIBID 250, and Ambistryn injections. I've been on this treatment for about 45 days already, and I'm wondering if 60 injections will be enough. What should I expect next in this treatment process?

I've been dealing with congestion, a lot of phlegm, and a cough for about 10 days now. I took a COVID test right when these symptoms started, and it came back negative. I've been steaming about 6 to 7 times a day, but things aren't really getting betterthey're just staying the same. What should I do next?

Question

I've been dealing with breathing issues for the past year or so, and it seems to hit every 3 to 4 months. It's really distressing because when it starts, I'm up all night struggling to breathe and I just can't figure out what's causing it. What can I do or take in an emergency to help with this?
