I'm a bit confused and worried because my Mantoux test showed a big reaction, 25x27mm, but my chest CT scan only suggests the possibility of tuberculosis. Ive got no symptomsno cough or fever or anything like that. Should I really start TB medication even though I feel perfectly fine? I'm just not sure if I actually have tuberculosis.

View allI've been dealing with a running nose and a blocked left nostril for the past three days, making it hard to breathe comfortably. The cough started two days ago, and I'm coughing up white phlegm with some severe wheezing. The left side of my chest hurts when I touch it. I've had asthma for about 12 years and usually rely on homeopathy, but this is the first time in two years it's gotten this bad. What would you recommend for quick relief?

My dad's oxygen levels are fluctuating between 94 and 97. It usually drops a bit after dinner and tends to be higher around noon. He's got asthma, so I'm wondering, would it help if he took steam and did breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom? Any suggestions on how we can improve his oxygen level?
Patient is advised deep breathing exercises,jogging,swimmingquit smoking,eating healthy diet,drinking plenty of water, can improve oxygen saturation.

I've been dealing with a really bad cold and cough for a week now, and my nose is constantly running. It's making it hard to breathe, and the chest pain is pretty severe. I saw a general physician, but there's been no relief. The coughing and cold are making so much mucus build up, and the pain in my chest is unbearable. I'm feeling really weak and just can't shake this cold. What should I do?
do chest x ray
