I've been dealing with asthma for the past seven years, and it used to be more of a winter issue with a cough. But for the last two years, its been bothering me year-round, although I dont have the cough now. I'm having trouble breathing and need to use Asthalin 100 twice daily. What can I do to manage this better? Is there something else I should be considering?

View allI'm really confused about something and could really use some clarity. Is pulmonary Koch's the same as tuberculosis in the lungs? And if they're different, do they require the same kind of treatment as tuberculosis? Also, is this pulmonary Koch's thing contagious?
Yes, pulmonary Koch's is another term for tuberculosis (TB) in the lungs. It requires similar treatment, usually involving a combination of antibiotics over several months. TB is contagious, so it's important to follow precautions to prevent spreading it to others.

I was diagnosed with TB back in May 2019, finished treatment by March, but I've been feeling breathless again. The CT showed scars and calcification, and now, a year later, these issues have come back. Could this mean I'm developing Pulmonary Fibrosis?
they are post effects of tuberculosis which has led to pulmonary fibrosis
