My dad's been dealing with night fevers and body aches for over a month now, like 40 days, and we've done all sorts of tests but haven't found anything concrete. His chest X-ray didn't show much, and the sputum report came back normal. The doctor mentioned that in the second stage of TB, changes can be subtle and hard to catch on X-rays and sputum tests, so he started the second line of TB drugs based on a CECT Scan. I've consulted a few other doctors, and after looking at the report and scan, they're suggesting it might be a reactivation of tuberculosis. Could you take a look at this and tell me if this report is solid enough to confirm TB?

View allI'm really worried because I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms lately. I have a history of allergic asthma, and I've noticed that when I inhale strong perfumes, it triggers a cold and a dry cough. I work outdoors a lot and have been using hand sanitizer frequently. For about a month now, I've noticed bloody mucus in my throat, which I end up swallowing, and it leaves a metallic taste. When I took a rapid corona test, it came out negative, although when they took the nasal swab, there was some blood on the stick. I don't have any other symptoms, but when I don't sleep well, I have a mild dry cough. I even tried antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. Could this be related to inhaling the sanitizer while rubbing it on my hands? What should I do about it? What remedies or steps should I take?

I'm a bit concerned about something. Last year, I had Covid-related pneumonia and since then, I've been feeling fine with no breathing problems, but there's something odd going on. Whenever I get a chest X-ray, the results mention that both my hila are congested, even though I don't feel congested at all. I occasionally have a light, dry cough, but nothing major. Do you think I need to worry about this or get some kind of treatment?

I'm experiencing something a little odd with my breathing. Most of the time, I can breathe normally, but whenever I try to take a really deep breath, it feels a bit difficult to fully inhale. It's not constant, only happens sometimes, but it's got me a bit worried. Is this something I should be concerned about? Any ideas on what might be causing it?
it might be due to anxiety, reduce stress
