I'm really struggling with a severe cough and congestion, especially at night. It's gotten to the point where I'm coughing so much that I can't sleep. I've heard that Azithromycin tablets might help with this, but I'm not sure. Is Azithromycin a good option for these symptoms, or should I be looking into something else?

I'm still dealing with a mild cough even after finishing 5 months of ATT treatment, and I've gained 7kg with a general sense of well-being. But I'm a bit concerned because my mediastinal lymph node is still somewhat enlarged and the cough hasn't gone away. Is it possible to take corticosteroids after finishing TB treatment, especially since they helped me with my cough before the TB diagnosis?

I'm feeling really anxious about my dad's CT lung scan results. The report mentioned "subtle areas post-inflammatoryinfectious fibrosis" and "patchy air trapping in parenchyma bilaterally," plus there's a "small paraseptal bulla" in his left upper lobe. He's a smoker, so I'm really concerned about what this all means for his health. Could you help me understand these findings?

I'm experiencing something strange with my breathing. Even though my nasal passages are clear, it feels like there's something blocking my inhalation right from the start. When I tilt my head back, I notice I can inhale more deeply. Is there an actual difference in my breathing when I do that? Also, during exhalation, I feel the air coming out just fine, but could this be a problem for my lungs? Would love some clarity on this.
