I've been diagnosed with a bulla in my right lung and have had a persistent cough for 20 days along with mild breathing issues. Should this be treated with surgery or medication, and what would the cost look like for either option?

I'm currently on my sixth month of TB treatment, but I've been having this cough for about 10-15 days now. I went to the doctor and he said it's nothing serious, just continued with my usual meds like Rcinex. He also gave me something for allergies like Allegra and some antibiotics. But I saw on my X-ray report from the radiologist that it says "bronchiovascular marking is prominent in bilateral lung field" and I'm wondering if I should be worried about this?

yes it is finding of tuberculosis , it will go away after complete treatment of tuberculosis

I'm having a tough time with my breathingI struggle to take deep breaths sometimes, and I've been relying on breathing through my mouth for the past four months. I visited a pulmonologist who had me take a chest X-ray, but it came back normal. He prescribed Razo D Tab 20mg for three weeks. Things seemed better during the first week, but by the second week, the breathing issues returned. Other than this, I'm eating well and sleeping properly, but every now and then, when the breathing gets difficult, I feel fatigued. There's no other issue apart from this. However, due to the current lockdown, I can't visit a clinic for a follow-up. What should I do next? Any suggestions on managing this?

pamtop 40mg for 3 days , stop spicy food and drink warm water
