I'm still experiencing a mild cough even though my TB treatment seemed to have cleared everything up. Is it normal to have lingering symptoms like this after treatment, or should I be concerned about something else going on?

I'm curious and a bit worried about something that's been happening. Whenever I cough, I notice a clear liquid, almost like saliva, coming from my mouth. It's got this salty-sweet taste to it. It's not discolored like yellow or green, just clear, but I'm unsure what might be causing this. Can you help me understand what's going on?

it might be due to some infection ,try syrup ascoril

I've been dealing with shortness of breath for the past year, and it's getting worse lately. It's gotten to the point where I'm out of breath just walking around my house. What could be causing this, and is it something I should be worried about?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I'm dealing with a persistent dry cough that's been bugging me for the past 6 months. I've tried all kinds of antibiotics, but nothing seems to kick it. All my lab tests have come back normal, so it's really puzzling. Any ideas on what could be going on, or what I could try next?

Persistent dry cough for 6 months despite normal lab reports and antibiotic treatment may indicate underlying conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), postnasal drip, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, or even habit cough, so consider consulting a pulmonologist
