I'm really worried because I've had a severe cough for the last five days. I'm taking Micef 200, Dolo 650, Dexona, Monticope, and MagnatussA syrup for it. In the mornings, I really have to cough hard to get any phlegm out, and it comes out red at first, then turns light green. Is that normal or something I should be more concerned about? Also, I'm experiencing a lot of headaches and body pain because of the coughing. What should I do?

Hey, I'm reaching out about my niece who's 13. She was diagnosed with typhoid in November, and they've been giving her really strong meds for that, along with malaria and dengue because she had a fever back then too. Now they've found out she has TB, and I'm desperately searching for a good TB doctor for her. She's gotten so weak she can't even swallow the meds now, and it's really hard to see her like this. Can you help?

I'm really worried because I've been struggling with shortness of breath for the past six months, especially at night, and it's making it impossible for me to sleep. I had a pulmonary test and they mentioned something about pneumobilia. Can you explain what that is and what might be causing this?
