I'm feeling chest pain and noticing some fiber-like stuff coming from my mouth when I take steam after recovering from COVID. I'm worried it might be lung fibrosis. Can you tell me what might be going on and if there's any medication I should consider?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having a heavy cough at night for almost three years now, about 34 months, and we've tried a bunch of tablets and syrups but nothing seems to work. Can you suggest any medicine that might actually help him get rid of the mucus?

I've been wondering if it's a good idea to get tested for TB every year to catch it early. Also, is it possible to have active TB without showing any symptoms?
The most common test for TB is the Mantoux tuberculin skin test or the TB blood test. Early detection can help in timely treatment and prevent the spread of the disease. Is it possible to have active TB without any symptom? Yes, it is possible to have active TB without any symptoms.
