I'm really worried about post-COVID lung fibrosis. Is it something that can actually get better over time? I've read online that people with lung fibrosis might only live for 3 to 5 years. What are the symptoms I should be looking out for? I'm feeling pretty anxious and could really use some guidance.

I'm really worried about my wife's health. She had blood in her vomit, and an X-ray showed an infection. Our general doctor advised a CT scan, which revealed a cavity in her lungs. We did a sputum test to check for TB, but it came back negative. While she's undergoing further checks, I'm just really anxious to understand what other tests might help pinpoint the root cause of this. She's 31, so any insight would be really helpful.

I had tuberculosis back in April 2016 and took medication for 9 months, including Streptomycin 1gm, Combutol 800, and Rcin 450, until February 15. Now I've got a bit of a cough and some pain again. Do you think it might be TB again? And how likely is it to be MDR-TB if it is? I'm really worried about this.
