My husband has active Tuberculosis and he's having a really hard time sleeping at night because of his intense coughing. It's gotten to the point where our six-month-old son and I can't sleep either since we all share the same room. I'm really concerned and was wondering if theres a way to help manage his cough so we can all get some rest. What should I do?

View allI'm a bit worried because I accidentally inhaled a small piece of rice while eating yesterday. Could this cause any harm, and is there a chance it might dissolve on its own? I'm also concerned about the possibility of getting an infection. What should I do?
A small foreign body, such as a piece of rice, getting into the lungs can potentially cause irritation or infection. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you are experiencing symptoms such as persistent cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, or fever. In some cases, the foreign body may need to be removed by a medical professional. I recommend visiting a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I was curious if the lung fibrosis that develops after having COVID is usually restrictive or does it tend to be progressive? I've attached my CT scan report from after my COVID treatment for some context. During my hospital stay, I received remdesivir injections.
Post-COVID lung fibrosis is typically restrictive, meaning it limits lung expansion and reduces lung capacity. However, its progression can vary depending on the severity and individual response to treatment. If you have concerns, please consult your doctor for a more personalized assessment.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been coughing for a week, and after we went to see a physician, she was given pulmoclear tablets. But now, after taking them for two days, she's having trouble breathing and feels tightness in her chest. Could this be a side effect of the tablet? Theres no family history of asthma or any breathing issues, and she was perfectly fine before starting the medication. I read somewhere that breathing problems are a rare but serious side effect of pulmoclear. Could this be true?
It's possible that your mother is experiencing a side effect from Pulmoclear, as breathing difficulty and chest tightness can occur, though rarely. I recommend stopping the medication and contacting her physician immediately to discuss her symptoms and explore alternative treatments.
