I've been taking antibiotics for a couple of weeks, and I noticed the lung nodule looks smaller in my recent CT scan from last month. Does this mean it's more likely to be benign rather than malignant? And should I continue with antibiotics to see if the nodule disappears completely? Any idea how long that might take?

View allI'm really concerned because I've had this persistent cough for 25 days now, and it's accompanied by pain on the left side of my chest and a lot of fatigue, but I don't have any fever. I went to a doctor who recommended some tests and here are the results: my ESR is at 48 mm1hr, TEC is 4.17 Cumm, and while my CBC came back normal, my white blood cell count is at 13.9 Thmm3. My Serum Vitamin D3 is pretty low at 20.5 ngml, and I tested negative for Sputum for AFB. I'm not sure what all this means and should I be worried about these results?

My friend was diagnosed with TB in his throat, not in his lungs and he's just got one more month left to finish his six-month treatment. What should he keep in mind after he's done with the medication cycle? Do we need to do any tests to make sure he's completely cleared of TB? He's moved to a new place and can't get in touch with his regular doctor.

I'm going to have a pleural tapping procedure soon and I heard about Tt injections related to it. Should I get a tetanus shot before the procedure? Are there any specific precautions I should be aware of before going through with pleural effusion? I'm feeling a bit anxious and want to make sure I'm fully prepared.
