I've been dealing with bronchitis and it's really getting to me. Every time I see a doctor, it seems to help a little but then in just a week, I'm back to having a cough and feeling breathless again. It's really taking a toll on me. What could be causing these recurring symptoms? Is there something else I should be doing or asking my doctor about?

I'm worried about my chest X-ray results and don't really feel satisfied with the explanation I got from my doctor. The report mentions a nonhomogenous patchy opacity in the right apical region with adjacent fibro-bronchiectatic changes, along with a few small calcific densities in the right upper zone. It suggests something about chronic infective etiology. Could you help me understand if this is something serious or if I need to be concerned?

I'm really worried because I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB last October and just finished a 9-month ATT. I was in close contact with my wife the whole time. Is there a chance I could have spread it to her before or during my treatment? I'm concerned because they never did a sputum test on meI didnt have a cough or any other symptoms. My Mantoux test was positive, and a CT scan showed multiple lumps. They did an EBUS TBNA too. Right now, my wife doesnt show any symptoms, but should we be concerned?

test your wife also for tuberculosis even without symptoms

I've been spray painting a prop for only about 5 minutes and I think I breathed in some fumes. Now I'm feeling this tightness in my lungs and there's a dull pain on my right side that I've had for a few days. I read it might be lung inflammation that'll go away by itself. Should I be worried about this?

It's natural to feel concerned. Short-term lung irritation from spray paint fumes often subsides with time, especially if you're now in fresh air and staying hydrated. However, if the tightness or pain worsens, or you notice symptoms like wheezing or breathlessness, consult a doctor promptly.
