I've been dealing with this cough for almost three years and recently finished a course of doxolin 400, pan 40, and montek lc. It began as a dry cough, but now, for the past month, I've been experiencing a burning sensation in the center of my chest. What could be happening? Should I be worried about this chest burn?

View allI've been really worried about my dad's heavy cough. It's been going on for a while, and whoever sleeps in the same room as him can't get a good night's sleep. We've seen so many doctors, and he's tried all sorts of medicines. Some think it's bronchitis or asthma, while others have just prescribed general cough medicine. Despite trying everything, including rotahealermedicines, nothing seems to work. Could you please suggest what might be wrong or recommend something that could finally help with his cough?
Based on the information provided, it seems like your father's cough is persistent and impacting his quality of life. Since he has already tried various medications without much improvement, I would recommend trying a combination of Montelukast (brand name Singulair) 10mg once daily in the evening and FluticasoneSalmeterol (brand name Advair) inhaler 25050mcg two puffs twice daily. These medications can help manage symptoms of asthma-related cough and provide relief. Additionally, steam inhalation and staying hydrated can also help alleviate cough symptoms. It's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I was diagnosed with abdominal TB four months ago, and I'm wondering when my lymph nodes might disappear. How will I know if my TB is cured, and when will that be? I'm feeling okay right now and taking Rcinex 600 and Combutol 800. Is that enough to cure the TB? Ive attached a CT scan for reference. I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB back in 2018 and got treated, but it came back in June 2020. My doctor had me get a chest CT scan, and I attached the report. Can you explain what "collapse consolidated left upper lobe with tiny calcification" means, and why are there still subcentimeter lymph nodes present after treatment? Could this be MDR TB, and how can I check for MDR? I have no cough or weight loss. Also, what does it mean if lymph nodes are heterogeneous?
collapsed means shrunken lung , and need to test TB again

So, I used to have asthma when I was a kid and had to use an inhaler, but once I hit my teenage years, I didn't have any issues, so my doctor took me off the meds. Lately, though, I've been having this wheezing thing happen after I work out. I'm kind of worried and curiousis it normal to hear wheezing after exercise, or is that something I should be concerned about?
no it is not normal, please continue your medication of asthma
