I've been checking my symptoms online, and it pointed to cough variant asthma. All the symptoms seem to match, and I already know I have asthma since I use an inhaler. It's the Ventolin Albuterol one, but I feel like I'm using it too much because I constantly need to breathe better. Do you think this issue will eventually go away, or should I think about going to the hospital?

I'm a bit worried about these dense hilar shadows I've been told I have. Is that something I should be concerned about? I've also been dealing with chest pain and coughing up mucus. What's going on with my lungs?

I'm experiencing chest pain and discomfort for the past two days, along with pain in my throat and neck that's getting worse. The pain is all around my rib cage and near my clavicle, and it feels like something is pressing on my chest. I've also had a cough that was quite bad yesterday, but it's a bit better today. The cough is dry, but in the mornings I'm coughing up white sputum and have been for quite a while. I haven't had a fever or lost my appetite. Could this be TB or something else?

I've been on tuberculosis treatment for almost 5 months now and haven't had any symptoms for over 4 months. I'm doing these LFT tests every couple of weeks like my doctor suggested, and they've always come back normal. My main concern is about the mediastinal lymph node TB I have. How long do you think Ill need to continue the medication and how does the doctor decide when to stop the treatment? Also, my doctor mentioned having a small bottle of light beer once a week is okay, but I just wanted to double-check if that's really alright.

Patient is advised ATT for another 1 month ,Also alcohol cessation is advised to the patient.
