I'm really worried about how long the treatment is for miliary tuberculosis. How long is the maximum treatment period for this type of TB?

I'm really worried because for the last couple of months I've been noticing dark blood streaks in my sputum, mostly in the morning or sometimes throughout the day. It's really concerning me, especially since I only see these streaks when I blow my nose and spit. The ENT I visited said my throat is inflamed and gave me a nasal spray and something called drez gargling. Even after seeing a pulmonologist and getting all sorts of tests like x-rays, blood tests, sputum tests, and urine tests, everything came back normal. I was given styptocid tablets and zady 250 mg for a few days, but the issue is still there. I dont even have a cough. What steps should I take next?

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle

I've been dealing with this issue where every morning I cough up thick, dark phlegm and it's such a struggle. I've noticed it seems to be coming from behind my uvula. This has been going on for about eight months now and I'm not taking any medication. Should I be worried or is there something I can do?

I dont think you have any issue or you need any treatment.relax.. you can gargle with saline water at the most. If you dont have persistent cough which stays whole day or any fever sneezingcold.. nothing to be done

I'm really worried about this dry cough and breathing trouble I've been having for about a month. It's more noticeable at night or in the morning and worsens when there's smoke, like from an agarbatti. I get some relief with Divya Swasari cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to completely go away even though I'm on antibiotics from my physician. Could you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what else I might try to finally get better?

you might have bronchitis, take tablet amoxyclav for 5 days,twice a day
