I've quit smoking about two months back, and after about a week, I started experiencing some uncomfortable symptoms like chest pain, coughing, insomnia, and really intense dreams. I also find it hard to swallow and sometimes feel short of breath. Is this normal, or should I be worried?

I was diagnosed with lymph node TB back in August 2021, and Ive been on medication since then. I haven't had any symptoms for the past six months, which is great, but I'm wondering about smoking. I know its generally bad for your health, no matter your condition, but Im curious if it could specifically affect the treatment outcomes for TB. Does smoking have any particular impact on how well I might recover or respond to the treatment?
yes it can

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with this right side pleural effusion for the past two months. We got him a CT scan and thankfully there's no sign of anything serious like cancer or TB. The doctors are thinking it's likely an infection. My dad's 68 and has a heart EF of 25. The blood pleural taping results came back normal too. Do you think a biopsy is necessary for him, and is it safe given his heart condition?
Tab augmentin duo 625mg ,orally ,thrice daily for 5 days advised to the patient.Also syrup salbutamol 10ml thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.Steam inhalation is also advised twice .Biopsy is not necessary.
