I'm really worried about my grandmother. She's got an infection in her left lung, and now that lung isn't working. She's been on a ventilator, and they've done broncoscopy twice on that lung. But she's still unconscious and dealing with an electrolyte imbalance alongside that lung infection. Are there any methods or treatments that could help get her lung functional again?

I'm a bit worried because my chest X-ray, ultrasound, HIV, thyroid, and other blood tests all came back fine, but my Mantoux test showed a positive result with a size of around 16 mm. I'm not sure if this means I need to start TB treatment. Also, my body temperature usually stays between 98 to 98.8 degrees. Should I be getting any other tests done? Could you give me some advice on this?
