I'm having a tough time with my breathing; it's been going on for about a year now. I'm pretty sure it's not asthma, but the symptoms feel like itchest congestion and this incomplete feeling when I breathe. I also deal with constant allergies, like my nose is always running and I sneeze a lot. My family doctor recommended Moncel LC and mentioned something about a smaller rotahaler. Does this sound right, or should I try something else?

I'm worried because our servant was diagnosed with TB, and I'm concerned it might have spread to my family. Could you please tell me which test we can do to check if any of us are affected by TB?

If a family member has been exposed to tuberculosis (TB), it's important to monitor for symptoms like persistent cough, weight loss, fever, and night sweats. To confirm if anyone is affected, a chest X-ray and a TB skin test (TST) or a blood test (IGRA) are commonly used. Please consult a doctor for appropriate testing and advice.
