I've been noticing this odd breathing noise coming from my throat. It's like a hiss, hiss, hiss sound when I breathe in and out, but it doesn't happen all the time. It usually shows up when I'm short of breath after running. I feel okay, but the noise has me a bit worried. It's kind of like a high-pitched puffing noise. Any idea what might be causing this?

The high-pitched "hiss" or puffing noise you're hearing while breathing after running could be related to slight airway narrowing or a bit of congestion, which can occur when you're short of breath. If you're not experiencing other symptoms like wheezing, chest tightness, or discomfort, it may not be a major concern, but if it persists, it could be worth discussing with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues like mild asthma or respiratory irritation.

I'm a bit concerned about my health. I was diagnosed with lymph node TB in my neck and took Forecox and Moxif 400mg for 6 months. The swelling in my nodes went away after two months, which was great, but now I'm noticing some issues. I feel a bit tired and sometimes have acidic sensations, itching, and a tingling feeling. Should I be getting any follow-up tests even though my doctor says there aren't any possible? And how much longer should I keep taking the medicine? I'm really looking for some guidance on this.

Continue same treatment as advised by the physician.

I'm dealing with a wet cough that's been bothering me for a week now. I tried taking Benadryl for a couple of days and then switched to Cipla's COFRYL, but nothing seems to be working. What can I do to get some relief?

Since you have already tried Benadryl and Cipla's COF-RYL without relief, I recommend trying Robitussin DM for your wet cough. Take 10ml of Robitussin DM every 4-6 hours as needed for cough. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body recover.
