I've been dealing with a persistent cough for about a week now, and it seems to get worse at night. I've tried using cough syrup, but it hasn't helped. What else can I do to get some relief?

View allI'm feeling really confused and a bit worried after I got my results from a pre-medical exam for work on Wednesday. My X-ray results mentioned something about "pulmo clearance," and I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. I haven't had any issues with TB, or even a cough in the past year. Can you help me understand what I should do next?
"Pulmo clearance" in your X-ray result likely indicates that there are no significant issues or abnormalities in your lungs, and your lungs appear clear. Its reassuring that you haven't experienced symptoms like coughing, especially related to tuberculosis (TB). Given your history, its important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further clarification and ensure that all pre-employment health requirements are met.

My doctor gave me some medicine and suggested using a nebulizer, but honestly, I'm not satisfied and just want to understand what's really wrong. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?
