I'm really curious about the results of my chest X-ray. The doctor mentioned something about increased bronchovascular markings. Can you tell me what that actually means? Is it something I should be worried about, or is it pretty normal?

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.

Is the Mantoux test the definitive way to confirm tuberculosis, or is there something else I should be aware of when it comes to diagnosing TB? I'm just trying to understand if there are other tests or steps involved in getting a proper diagnosis. Its all a bit confusing, and Im worried about whether one test is enough.

not confirmatory for active Tuberculosis

So, all my lung and chest reports came back normal, but I'm still experiencing shortness of breath. Could there be any reason for this? I had asymptomatic COVID, but it's been a while since I recovered. Why might this be happening?
