I've been dealing with a persistent cough and heavy sputum production since I was diagnosed with TB and Sarcoidosis in November 2015. I completed my treatment by November 2016, but the symptoms haven't improved. The sputum is clear and seems to increase a lot right after I eat or drink anything. I'm really concerned and unsure about what to do next. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

View allI'm a bit worriedI've taken my mom, who's 61, to the hospital for some stomach issues. The doctor there suggested a CT scan of her chest and abdomen, and she ended up with a CORADS 4 result. Then they did an RT-PCR test, but that came back negative for COVID-19. She doesn't show any symptoms like cough, cold, or fever. Today, they went ahead with a chest X-ray, and now they're saying she has increased bronchovascular markings. Could you explain what that means? Does it suggest she might have COVID, even if the test was negative?
Prominent bronchovascular markings is seen in infections ,bronchitis, asthma,bronchopneumonia,cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension.

I've been dealing with chest congestion and I'm on some medications like the Mox Budamate inhaler and levocetirizine. I'm curious, can I still have things like citrus fruits or lemon tea while I'm using Budamate?
It is generally safe to consume citrus fruits and lemon tea while using Budamate (budesonide inhaler). However, be mindful of acidity, as it could potentially irritate your throat, especially if you're already experiencing congestion. If you notice any discomfort, consider reducing intake or consulting your doctor for personalized advice.
