I've been dealing with this cough and some phlegm in my throat, but oddly, there's no fever or cold symptoms along with it. It's just the cough thats bugging me, even after one round of antibiotics. I dont cough all the time, but I can definitely feel that there's phlegm there. What's going on here? Should I be concerned or doing something different?

Is there a way to clean out the tar from your lungs if you've been smoking? And if there is, how much would that cost? I've heard of someone getting it done, and I'm really curious if it's actually possible.

Removing tar from smoker lungs is a challenging process, but it's possible to reduce the damage and promote lung health. Unfortunately, there's no magic procedure to completely remove tar, but quitting smoking is the first step towards healing. Your lungs have an incredible ability to repair themselves, and the healing process begins immediately after quitting smoking. Within 48 hours, carbon monoxide levels drop, and oxygen levels increase. The cilia in your lungs start to regrow within a week, and lung function improves within a month. To support your lung health, consider incorporating lung-cleansing foods, drinks, and supplements into your routine. These may include: - Lung-Cleansing Foods: Dark leafy greens, berries, citrus fruits, garlic, onions, ginger, and turmeric. - Lung Detox Drinks: Teas made from ginger, basil, and echinacea.

I was wondering how long a fever usually lasts after starting treatment for TB. My wife began her treatment with AKT 4 on March 2, 2017, but she's still getting fevers up to 101 once a day. Is this normal? How long does it typically take for the fever to subside after starting treatment?

it might take 3-4 hours after treatment started
