I'm wondering if the ATT treatment for tuberculosis patients is safe for the liver? I'm also a bit worried because the patient has been coughing up a little bit of blood in their sputum. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm sharing my chest X-ray results from after I had COVID. Can you let me know if everything looks alright with my lungs, and if there's a chance they'll keep getting better? I've also attached the X-ray taken during COVID, about 30 days ago, for comparison.
