I'm having a really tough time with chest congestion, breathing issues, and a persistent cough, especially with the change in seasons. I also have allergies to dust. I've been using anti-allergy tablets regularly along with an inhalerEsiflow and Duolin. My local doctor thinks it might be bronchial asthma or COPD. I'm just desperate for a solution that can give me a better quality of life. Could you provide some guidance on what I should do next?

I'm currently on tuberculosis medication and have been for the last two months. When I started the treatment, my ESR was 49, and it's now at 44. Is it normal for ESR levels to decrease this slowly? Should I be concerned about the progress, or is this expected with TB treatment? I'm trying to understand what this could mean for my recovery.

yes esr is a marker of infection, it is lowering which is a good sign

I'm having some trouble with congestion in my chest and hearing noises when I breathe, mostly because of dust, I think. A few days ago, I had a fever, and my back's been hurting, probably because of the breathing issues. Plus, the cough is making the pain in my throat and back worse. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?

Syrup salbutamol 10 ml orally thrice daily is advised to the patient.
