I recently had a mantoux test done and now, 48 hours later, there's this 20mm red and swollen area where the injection was given. I'm a bit worried about what this might mean health-wise. Any insights on this?

I've been diagnosed with a bulla in my right lung and have had a persistent cough for 20 days along with mild breathing issues. Should this be treated with surgery or medication, and what would the cost look like for either option?

COST depends on dr and hospital.

Hey, so about two weeks ago I had a fever and then got hit with a cough and cold. Even some sputum was coming up. The fever's gone now and I'm feeling better, but the cough is still sticking around, though it's not as bad as last week. There's still some sputum, but not too much. But what's got me concerned is that when I cough, I hear like this bell sound coming from inside my lungs. Any ideas on what this could be or what I should do?

get a chest xray done

I'm currently taking Montair LC, Levoflox 500, and Pan40 for a lower respiratory tract infection. I'm wondering if it's okay to also take vitamin tablets, specifically DE, C, and B12, alongside these medications. Would that cause any issues, or is it safe to mix them?

yes you can take
