I'm a bit worried because I had a chest infection and hemoptysis back in 2016, but antibiotics worked then. In April 2017, I experienced more hemoptysis, and the culture showed MTB for Pulmonary ATB, which I completed 9 months of medication for. Since then, I've sometimes had blood in my cough which the doctor said is from a scar. But today, I sneezed and there was blood again. My doctor advised taking Pause 500 in these situations. Is it normal to have blood in my cough after TB or could this be a new infection?

View allI'm 28 and tested positive for Covid about 13 days ago. Since the 8th day, I'm finding it really hard to deal with this chest and throat issue. It's like mucus is stuck, and it won't come out or go down. Sleeping at night is a huge problemevery time I try to fall asleep, I feel this prick in my throat that comes with a lot of coughing, but the mucus just won't clear. My chest hurts and I have headaches from all this, trying to get the mucus out. I'm taking air fast tabs, tripofed syrup, ac long tabs, and I've even tried all kinds of home remedies but nothing's helping. It's driving me crazy, to the point I'm having really bad thoughts because of how uncomfortable this is. I've seen a lot of doctors, but no one's been able to give me the right treatment. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do to feel better?

I'm trying to make sense of my mom's test results and I'm really worried. Her sputum test for AFB culture came back negative after three weeks, but the Genexpert test showed positive. The CT scan also revealed she has a "tree in bud" pattern infection along with a small mass lesion. I'm confused and concerned if this points to TB, some other kind of infection, or even something like cancer. Could you help explain what all this might mean?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my dad. His CT scan just showed that he has right-sided pleural effusion with a solid component, and there's something about subsegmental collapse consolidation. Could these findings mean he might have developed some kind of malignancy? I'm not sure what to think and could really use some guidance.
No we can't tell only on CT reports
