Question

I'm a bit confused and worried about my health situation. I had a lump on the right side of my neck and got an FNAC done, which pointed to tuberculosis. I went ahead with a Mantoux test, and it came back with a really large red induration, like 29mm. My chest X-ray shows bilateral hilar prominence, and my ESR is raised too. But here's the thing, I don't have any symptoms - no weakness, no cough, nothing at all. What's going on? Should I be concerned even without symptoms?

Question

I've been coughing up blood for the past couple of nights, and it's got me really worried. It's not a lot, just about a teaspoon, and the blood is bright red with no mucus. Since this started, I've been feeling a burning sensation in my throat. I've been smoking for the past four years, but otherwise, I don't have any medical issues. I'm really tense about what's happening. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this?

Question

I've been diagnosed with bronchitis, and I'm really struggling with my breathing and I have this persistent tightness in my chest. I've already tested negative for COVID, which is a relief, but I'm worried because none of the medicines or inhalers I've tried seem to be making any difference. What else can I do to ease these symptoms and breathe more comfortably?
