I'm really worried because I've been having some trouble with my breathing and caught a cold, so my doctor had me get a CT scan. It says "no significant abnormality detected," but Im still feeling off. Can you help me understand what might be going on? Could there be something else causing my symptoms that's not showing up on the scan?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's diabetic and has been dealing with a productive cough for the last week. We've been giving her Macpod CV 200 twice a day for five days and there has been some improvement, but I'm wondering what the best medicine would be to help her fully recover?

now ask her to take hot water only. the medicine which she took is best. if it still persists then take tablet. mucinac for 5 days

I've been through quite a journey with TB since 2016, dealing with extra pulmonary TB and after a year of treatment and some surgery for fluid drainage, I thought I was in the clear. In 2019, even though I had some lymph node swelling, the tests came back negative, and my doctor said I didn't need further medication. But now, with my fianc being diagnosed with pulmonary TB last December, I'm freaking out a bit. Given my history and the close contact, should I be concerned about getting TB again?

kindly take precautions, your immunity might be weak . you might get infected once again
