I'm really worried about my aunt who's been having some trouble breathing. I've attached her X-ray report here. Can you please take a look and tell me what it indicates?

I'm about five months into my TB treatment now. My cough has improved a lot, and I don't have the fever like before, plus I've gained 7 kg. I don't really have any other issues, but I still have this occasional cough during the day, like 20 to 30 times, just a small cough each time. My GeneXpert test was positive, and the EBUS FNAC showed caseating epithelioid granuloma cells when I had it done at Apollo Hospital. I'm a bit worried about when this cough is going to go away completely. Are there other possibilities I should be aware of? Do I need to extend my medication to 12 months?

good immunity is required to overcome cough, try eating nutritious food

I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea but I'm not keen on using a CPAP machine or surgery. Are there other ways to treat it naturally or with lifestyle changes? What options have worked for others?

Yes, besides CPAP and surgery, various lifestyle changes and alternative therapies can help manage sleep apnea. Many people find success with losing weight, practicing positional therapy (sleeping on their side), and using oral appliances.
