I'm still feeling a bit worried because I'm coughing up brown phlegm even though I finished my Levofloxacin course. The chest pain I had is mostly gone, which is a relief since it was pretty uncomfortable, but I can still feel something in my lungs. Does this mean the bronchitis isn't fully cleared up? Should I be doing anything else, or might it just take a bit more time for my lungs to feel normal again?

I'm dealing with this dry cough that just won't go away. It's been ages, and nothing seems to come up when I cough. I've already gone to the hospital and got tested. The docs gave me some tablets and did an X-ray too. But even after all of this, the cough hasnt stopped. One of the doctors mentioned it's not TB and said my chest looks clear. So what else could be causing this? I'm 26, don't smoke, and only drink alcohol on rare occasions and in small amounts. Just trying to figure out what's going on here.

That could be either allergic bronchitis or pharyngitis, visit Physician for appropriate management and consume warm liquids and fruits for better healing.

I've had a cough that just won't go awayit's been over 3 weeks now. I usually get coughs like this every winter, but this time I went for a Chest X-Ray to check for TB at a hospital in Delhi, and thankfully, I was told I don't have it. But then, I saw a pulmonologist with MBBS and DTCD who suggested I do a Montoux test, and now they're saying it's TB. Should I be doing more tests to be sure? If I start on medication, how often do I need to see the doctor for check-ups? Also, is it okay for me to travel outside the country while I continue the treatment?

refer to cardiologist
