Question

My wife is 26 and got COVID-19 back in September, which later led to pneumonia. The pneumonia just wouldn't go away, and after some tests, we found out it's actually Pulmonary TB. She's been on a 6-month medication course for the past 3 months. But she's so weak all the time and vomits a lot, like, almost every time she eats, she throws up in about 30 minutes. How long do you think this will last? It's honestly really worrying.

I'm experiencing this really uncomfortable chest tightness along with some pain in both the lower and upper parts of my right chest. I've also been dealing with sneezing and watery eyes that come with a cough. When I do cough, there's this light yellow mucus with a few greenish pieces. The pain's gotten a bit worse over the past two days, especially when I'm sitting or sleeping on my right side. What could this be?

Question

I've been having a dry cough for a few days now, and I'm using Zedex cough syrup as my local doctor suggested. The problem is, the phlegm isn't coming up when I cough; it just stays in my chest, which is why the coughing won't stop. Could you offer any advice on what I can do about this?

Question
