I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with Asthma for a long time, and on top of that, now he's got this Marbu Sali thing going on for the last three days. He's been using Asthalin rotocaps a lot, like 78 times a day, which sounds like way too much, right? And now he's got a headache too. He doesn't have any bad habits but he just won't go see a doctor. I'm not sure what to do, can you suggest any other options or treatments that might help him?

I'm dealing with some discomfort lately I've got this cough, and it feels like there's phlegm stuck in my throat and nose. It's making it hard for me to clear my airways, and I'm also feeling pretty fatigued. Breathing is a bit uncomfortable too, but I don't have a fever or anything. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

I'm really concerned about this - can pulmonary TB come back after you've been treated successfully and your sputum test from a bronchoscopy is negative? Also, is it normal to sometimes feel a bit of pain in the lungs while breathing if you recovered from TB and finished the treatment just last year?

Yes ,it can re-occur. Symtoms are normal.
