I'm dealing with pleural effusion and some thickening of the pleura. I've been on FDC medication for pulmonary Koch's for about 14 months now. I'm worried because it's affecting my medical test for a job abroad. What can I do in this situation, and is there a way to manage or improve the test results despite my condition?

I've been dealing with a blocked nose that suddenly turned runny, but what's really worrying me is this constant need to yawn or take deep breaths. This started just yesterday. I'm 19 years old and weigh 95 kgs. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? What could be causing this breathing issue?

That could be regular flu,no need to worry take citrizine tablet once in the night time and take steam inhalation,if its becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate management

I'm really loving the benefits of Amla juice for my skin and hair, but I've been having some trouble breathing at night, which is affecting my sleep. I saw a local doctor who suggested taking Azithromycin 500mg at night and advised stopping all sour foods and Amla juice. Is there any way I can address the breathing issue without having to give up Amla juice? It's been really effective for me and I don't want to stop if possible.

Continue all the medications.Also seroflo rotahaler sos is advised to the patient during breathing difficulty.
