I'm really concerned about endobronchial tuberculosis. Is it something that can be cured? Also, how long do I need to be on TB medication for this?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 62 and was in the hospital for COVID-19 with a CT severity score of 2125. He needed oxygen support for about 25 days and was on a lot of medications like steroids and anticoagulants. Now, he's been home for a month doing physiotherapy and breathing exercises, but mostly bed rest. His oxygen saturation is fine when he's resting, around 97-98, but it drops to 90-91 when he walks or does any little exercise. Plus, he still has a bit of a dry cough. Can you help me understand when we might see his oxygen levels stabilize and what more we can do?

based on positional varition, temperature changes spo2 levels changes

I'm looking at my CT scan results, and I'm not sure what to make of it. It mentions there's a subtle thin fibrotic band in the lateral segment of my right middle lobe and has a CORADS score of 3, which I think means it's indeterminate for COVID-19. I'm a bit anxious about what this might mean. Could you help me understand the report better?

need not worry since score is 0

I'm really loving the benefits of Amla juice for my skin and hair, but I've been having some trouble breathing at night, which is affecting my sleep. I saw a local doctor who suggested taking Azithromycin 500mg at night and advised stopping all sour foods and Amla juice. Is there any way I can address the breathing issue without having to give up Amla juice? It's been really effective for me and I don't want to stop if possible.

Continue all the medications.Also seroflo rotahaler sos is advised to the patient during breathing difficulty.
