I've been noticing that every time I drink hot tea, I end up coughing a lot. It's been happening for quite a while now. Also, my wife was recently diagnosed with a TB gold infection that's positive. I'm pretty worried and wondering what could possibly be going on here. Could this all be related somehow? What should we do?

I'm experiencing shortness of breath and chest tightness. I was previously diagnosed with pneumonia and took medication for it. I recently had a CT scan done and it showed fibrotic strands. Should I be worried about these findings? What does it mean for my recovery and overall lung health? It's making me quite anxious, and I really need some guidance on what steps to take next.

I've been dealing with this mid chest tightness and feeling breathless for about 8-9 months now. It's really uncomfortable and concerning. To make things worse, I have this constant throat mucus that seems to be coming from the back of my nose. I've tried a bunch of medications but nothing seems to really help. I'm currently on toficalm. Can you shed some light on what might be going on with me?
