What does it mean when my CT scan shows likely infective tuberculosis but my smear test came back negative? I'm not having any cough or fever. What's going on? I'm pretty confused about it all.

since smear is negative, there are least chances if tuberculosis

View allI've been dealing with breathing issues for the past year or so, and it seems to hit every 3 to 4 months. It's really distressing because when it starts, I'm up all night struggling to breathe and I just can't figure out what's causing it. What can I do or take in an emergency to help with this?
start steam inhalation, do one chest xray

I'm working a night shift from 3:00 PM to 12:00 AM, and I've been having this issue where my breathing stops while I'm asleep. When I wake up in the morning, I end up vomiting, and there's also this white spit. It's honestly quite worrying, and I could really use some advice on what's going on here. Any insights would be appreciated.
it might be due to your bowel disturbances, take tablet pantop for 3 days

I've been using the Seroflo 250 Inhaler for a couple of years now because my doctor prescribed it, but I just found out that it contains Fluticasone Propionate, which I heard is a steroid and might not be great for long-term health. I'm kinda worried because whenever I try to stop using it, I start having breathing issues within a couple of days. Is there any inhaler available in India that has only Salbutarol and no steroids?
Hi, using a Seroflo 250 inhaler is essential for controlling asthma or COPD as it contains both a steroid (Fluticasone) to reduce inflammation and a bronchodilator. However, Salbutamol-only inhalers like Asthalin or Levolin are available but are meant for quick relief, not long-term control. Consult your doctor before making any changes to ensure your symptoms stay managed.
