I'm really worried about my friend who's been having these health issues. They've done an X-ray and blood tests, and there's a mix of opinions. Some are saying it could be TB, while others think it might be pneumonia. He's got a really bad cough and also has diabetes. What should we be looking out for, and what steps should we take next?

View allI'm a bit worried about my latest lung X-ray results which mention an "apicolordotic view is suggested" for some pneumonia in both parahilar regions and a pleuro-diaphragmatic reaction in the right lower lung, affecting both hemidiaphragms. Could you explain what all this means? Is it something I should be concerned about?
The chest X-ray report suggests pneumonia in both parahilar regions and the right lower lung, along with a pleuro-diaphragmatic reaction, indicating inflammation of the lung linings and diaphragm, and recommends an apicolordotic view for further evaluation, which is a specialized X-ray view to better assess the lung apices and guide treatment for the pneumonia.

I've been dealing with chest pain since January 2017, and even though all my blood tests like CBC, LFT, KFT, ECG, and an ultrasound of the abdomen came back negative, the X-ray found an infection in my left lung. A CT scan showed that the upper left lobe has collapsed, but the bronchoscopy didn't reveal anything. My main worry is that the infection seems to be getting worse according to the X-rays. I've been taking the medicines prescribed by my doctor, like Macox Plus, Pyzinia 1000, Combutol 800, and Durapain for the past two months. I'm really concerned about whether these medicines are enough to tackle the infection and help with my situation. What else can I do or look into to improve my condition?

I'm struggling with this persistent cough that's just not going away. I tried using amlox, levofloxacin, loratidine, and even some home remedies, but it keeps coming back after a few days. It's getting really frustrating. Can you suggest what might be going on or what I should try next?
