I'm worried about my dad. He had TB last year, and we finished his treatment in April. But now it looks like the TB is coming back. Could you recommend a really good doctor?

I've had this stubborn dry cough for about 15 days now. It all started with a cold and cough, and I took some antibiotics and chest cold tablets for a few days back then. The cold cleared up, but this cough just won't go away. It's mostly at night before I sleep, but somehow it doesn't bother me when I'm actually asleep. The coughing makes it hard to breathe and sometimes I feel like my heart's racing. I even get these shivering vibrations in my upper body and hands. I already spoke to a general physician and got a bunch of medications like montelukast sodium, levocetirizine hydrochloride, methylprednisolone, and cefpodoxime proxetil potassium clavulanate. I'm on my second day of this prescription, and then I read online that some of these are for asthma. Really curious and a bit worried about what this could be, and if it's got to do with my lungs or heart. Any advice on what's going on and how to find out more?

Patient is advised sputum for AFB and microscopy, chest x-ray pa view .

I've been having these moments where it feels like I can't really breathe, especially after eating or sometimes at night. It's like I'm not getting enough air or something. If I try to breathe deeply, I get this tightness in my back and upper chest. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's really uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
