I've been trying so hard to quit smoking and just decided to finally kick the habit. I stumbled onto something online about lung wash procedures that apparently help clear out the tar in the lungs from smoking. Does anyone know where I can get a regular lung wash done in Gurgaon? I'm really curious if this could help me breathe better.

I've been feeling short of breath lately, even though my pulmonary function tests came back normal. I don't have any chest pain or a cough. Should I be concerned about this, or is it just something that happens sometimes? What else could be causing this?

might be due to anxiety , drink plenty of water, stress management

I was wondering how long a fever usually lasts after starting treatment for TB. My wife began her treatment with AKT 4 on March 2, 2017, but she's still getting fevers up to 101 once a day. Is this normal? How long does it typically take for the fever to subside after starting treatment?

it might take 3-4 hours after treatment started
