I'm really concerned about my husband's situation. He's 33 and has been dealing with pleural effusion TB. It's been about a month and a half since he started taking the ATS 9 medication, but his chest pain hasn't gotten any better. The current chest X-ray shows almost all the fluid is gone, which is good, but the chest pain hasn't changed since before he began the meds. Should I be worried that the pain is still there, or is there something else we should be doing?
take pantop 40g for 3 days if it doesn't resolve do and ECG AND CHEST X Ray then proceed fruther

I'm a bit worriedI've taken my mom, who's 61, to the hospital for some stomach issues. The doctor there suggested a CT scan of her chest and abdomen, and she ended up with a CORADS 4 result. Then they did an RT-PCR test, but that came back negative for COVID-19. She doesn't show any symptoms like cough, cold, or fever. Today, they went ahead with a chest X-ray, and now they're saying she has increased bronchovascular markings. Could you explain what that means? Does it suggest she might have COVID, even if the test was negative?
Prominent bronchovascular markings is seen in infections ,bronchitis, asthma,bronchopneumonia,cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension.
