Hey, so I kinda messed up my TB meds schedule. I was late by 12 hours twice. First time, I missed my morning dose and ended up taking it at night. Then, the next time, I missed the night dose and took it in the morning. But I've been consistent since, like if I took the missed dose at night, I continued the rest of the doses at night. Is this a problem, or am I still on the right track?

View allI'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?
