I'm really worried because theres fluid build-up in one of my mom's lungs. We're headed to CMC Vellore and it's about a 2-hour 15-minute flight. She's been coughing and has some trouble breathing. Is it safe for her to fly right now, or should we consider another form of travel?

I've been on ATT for pulmonary Kochs diagnosed 3 months ago. My initial chest X-ray looked fine, but the CT scan showed the infection. The Montox test was positive with a 20mm induration. For my latest review, I had a chest X-ray, and it showed prominent bronchovascular markings. Can you tell me what this means? Also, I've been experiencing leg pain, especially in my knees and ankles. Is this something I should be worried about?
Do not panic it takes time complete the entire course of ATT and visit your Physician regularly for followup,consume balanced diet and stay hydrated.

I'm feeling this weird vibration in my right lower lung when I breathe, mostly at night when I'm trying to sleep. There's no pain, just this funny sensation. But sometimes if I take a deep breath or move a certain way, I get a sharp, needle-like pain. It's growing concerning, and I'm wondering what's going on. Can you shed some light on this?
The vibration and occasional sharp pain you feel in your lower lung could be due to muscle strain, mild inflammation in the pleura (lining of the lungs), or even trapped air in small airways. If it persists or worsens, consult a doctor for a thorough check-up to rule out any lung or musculoskeletal issues.
