I'm really worried about my wife. She has a severe lung infection and her X-ray and CT scan reports show that her lungs are really damaged. The doctor mentioned something about her lungs being "sad gye hai." What does that mean exactly, and how serious is this situation? What are our next steps for treatment?

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?

yes continue
