I've had corona since September 2020. I'm wondering if it's a good idea to get a CT scan now? Will it show how much it affected me?

Question

My cousin was recently told she might have tuberculosis, and we're all really worried. I've been reading up and it's just so confusing with all the tests out there to confirm it, like skin tests and blood tests. Could you help me understand what's the most reliable test for confirming TB? I want to make sure we're advocating for the right approach with her doctor.

Question

I'm experiencing this pain in my upper chest, especially when I breathe deeply, cough, sneeze, or laugh, but I don't have a fever. However, I've got this dry cough going on. This has been happening for about a week and a half now. I'm a regular smoker, maybe around 3 to 4 cigarettes a day. Could this be something serious, or is it linked to my smoking habits? What should I do?

Question

I'm dealing with a cold and running nose issue since I was a kid, and I found out I have asthma in 2016. I've been using that Budamate inhaler twice a day along with Arzep and Metatop nasal sprays. Originally, I used the sprays every day, twice a day, but now I only use them when my cold flares up. So here are my questions: sometimes I get a runny nose right when I wake up. Is it okay to use the Arzep and Metatop nasal sprays on an empty stomach? And can I use the inhaler on an empty stomach too? Another thing, I've been controlling my cold with Arzep, but are there any long-term effects if I keep using these nasal sprays regularly? I'm kinda worried about any side effects.
