I'm struggling with some chest congestion. It gets worse whenever I'm in an air-conditioned room or after having cold drinks. It's really hard to breathe sometimes, and I can feel the congestion in my lungs and chest. Could you recommend some medicine or advice on what to do?

My dad's been dealing with Pulmonary TB, and the doctor put him on Forecox tablets. He's taking two a day for 70 days, and he's already 40 days in. Lately, he's been complaining about pain in his knees and hands. Could this be a side effect? Also, what kind of diet should he be on, and are there any specific precautions he needs to follow?

I'm really worried because my recent CT scan and X-ray showed I have bronchiectasis in my right upper lung. There's also something about my lower bowel that's concerning. Could this be why I've been having breathing issues or stomach discomfort? What could these findings mean for my health and are there any specific treatments you would recommend?

kindly take medications for broncheictasis

I consider myself pretty healthy since I can handle long-distance runs, play football for an hour, and even work out in the gym regularly. So, its confusing why Im experiencing this. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this problem?
