I've been dealing with a fever for about six weeks now. My doctor did a Mantoux test, which came back positive, and I started treatment for TB. The fever went away after four days, but now it's back. It spikes to 102 degrees around 3 PM and again after midnight. Is this something normal during TB treatment, or should I be concerned about it?

View allI'm really concerned because I've been coughing for about 8 to 10 days now, and just today I noticed blood when I cough. This isn't the first time it's happened; about two years ago, I experienced something similar and went to a physician for a medical checkup, and with some treatment over a month, it got better. Should I be worried and seek medical help again right away, or is there something else I can try first? Could this be related to the previous issue I had back then?
take one course of antibiotic

My 62-year-old mom has been dealing with pleural fluid buildup in her left lung for about 8 months now. We've done all sorts of tests, like bronchoscopy, pleural biopsy, ANA blot test, and checked for CEA and CA125 levels, and thankfully, both tuberculosis and malignancy have been ruled out. But now, the doctor has suggested Thoracoscopy. Can you explain what that is? Is it safe, and what should we expect from this procedure? She's a bit worried, and so am I. Any advice on how we should prepare or any questions we should ask her doctor about this?
kindly proceed with thoracoscopy to find the cause and go for the treatment

I'm noticing this unusual sound coming from my left lung when I breathe deeply, and it makes my left side vibrate. It goes away after I cough, but I'm still concerned. I've had three X-rays and those came back normal. I also did spirometry, and that was normal too. I'm a smoker, and my recent hemoglobin level was 17.90, RBS was 5.81, and PCV was 51.80. Is this something I should be worried about? Am I okay?
Raised hemoglobin in the reports. Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
