I'm really worried and need some advice. My dad tested positive for COVID on the 17th, but I tested negative, though I've got typhoid. I'm on cefixime, arithromyzin, and mucolyte, plus I've received 6 monocef injections. Lately, I've been dealing with this frothy mucus coming out of my mouth, and my nose is completely blocked. It's making it impossible for me to sleep because my throat's full of it, and my breathing keeps stopping. Is this mucus thing something to do with typhoid, or could it be something else going on? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.

My wife's been dealing with a persistent cough for about 15 days, and she had a fever at the beginning, but it went away after 3 days. The same thing happened around this time last year, but back then, it was just a cough that stuck around for a month without the fever. We saw a doctor, and he ran some testsCT Chest showed consolidation in the right upper chest, and last years X-ray showed the same thing while the cough was there, but it went back to normal after a month. Her lab results came back with HB10, ESR99, TLC 3800, Platelets 1.1 lakh. Sputum AFB is negative from 3 samples, but the QuantiFeron Gold test is positive. There are no signs of weight loss or appetite changes. The doctor suspects it might be TB and started her on a regimen with Rifampicin, INH, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol, and Pyridoxine. I'm just wondering because this issue occurred last year and now again but not in between. Should we stick with the treatment plan? Any insights would be appreciated.

yes it is better to take tuberculosis medicine, rather than complicating the condition

I've recently started experiencing some shortness of breath out of nowhere, and it made me decide to stop smoking. For a week or so after quitting, I felt fine and didn't have any breathing issues. But now, in the second week, the shortness of breath has come back suddenly. Could you shed some light on why this might be happening? Also, are there any home remedies I could try to help with this?

I've been dealing with this mid chest tightness and feeling breathless for about 8-9 months now. It's really uncomfortable and concerning. To make things worse, I have this constant throat mucus that seems to be coming from the back of my nose. I've tried a bunch of medications but nothing seems to really help. I'm currently on toficalm. Can you shed some light on what might be going on with me?
