I've been struggling with breathing issues for the past 45 days. It feels like the air isnt fully filling my chest, and I have to take deep breaths for 15 to 30 seconds for things to feel normal. I don't have a cold, cough, or fever, but today my throat is super dry and it feels like theres pressure inside. What could be going on? I'm really worried.

View allCan I take Dolo 650 while I'm on TB treatment if I have a fever? Also, when can I expect this fever to go away? I've been on medication for 29 days now.
It's generally safe to take Dolo 650 for fever during tuberculosis treatment, but it's important to follow your doctor's advice for specific medications and dosage. The duration of fever can vary depending on the severity of the infection and how your body responds to treatment. If the fever persists, it's a good idea to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried about a recent HRCT report I got back. It mentions a large smooth-walled air-filled lesion that's replaced my right upper lobe, likely a bullae, with some compressive atelectatic changes in the adjacent lung. Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned about this?

My friend has been dealing with this annoying barking cough for a while now. She's already on cough syrup and doing saltwater gargles, but nothing seems to help. It just keeps coming back and barking every time. Her chest X-ray didnt show anything unusual either. What do you think should be her next move? Any advice would be appreciated.
It maybe viral infection like croup , take antibiotics for secondary infection and over the counter fever or pain medication can help
