I'm going to Kuwait for a job, and I'm really worried about this mild increase in bronchovascular markings that's shown up on my chest exam. I've got a GCC GAMCA medical test coming up, and Im anxious about whether this issue might cause me to fail the test. Ive tried reaching out to different doctors, but I havent gotten a clear response. Can you let me know if this is something that will make me unfit for the job medical test?

View allI'm really worried because I was asked to leave the UAE due to a lung x-ray showing a scar from what they say is old TB, even though I don't have active TB right now. I really want to return to Dubai but I'm not sure what steps to take to prove I'm healthy enough to go back. Is there a way to legally and safely address this scar with treatment or medications? Have you dealt with cases like this before where people needed to show proof of treatment to re-enter a country? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Consult a pulmonologist in your home country for a thorough evaluation, and obtain a medical certificate, including a chest CT scan, sputum tests, and blood tests, confirming the TB is inactive, then, with this documentation, apply for a fitness certificate from the UAE embassy or consulate, which may require additional testing or documentation, to facilitate your return to Dubai

I've been dealing with a really intense dry cough ever since the second wave of COVID. It's mostly at night and doesn't really respond to regular cough meds. My doctor put me on Foracort 200 rotacaps, and it works almost immediately, which is great. But I'm still having episodes of this cough almost every night, and I keep reaching for the rotacaps. I'm kind of worried... is it okay to keep using Foracort 200 like this? And are there any potential side effects if I use it long-term?
you can use this medicine, but it has side effects headache nausea
