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?

View allI'm a bit worried about the X-ray results that mention "haziness" in the left mid and lower zones of my chest. What could this mean? Should I be concerned about it, and what kind of follow-up do you recommend?
The X-ray report indicates haziness in the left mid and lower lung zones, which could suggest inflammation, infection, or a possible buildup of fluid. It's important to correlate this finding with your symptoms and clinical history for a more accurate diagnosis. I recommend discussing the results with your doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm a bit worried because last week I started having watery eyes and sneezing, but no cough at that time. The sneezing and watery eyes stopped a couple of days ago, and now I've developed a cough. The thing is, it's not like a regular coughit's neither wet nor dry, and it doesnt happen all the time. My oxygen levels are usually around 98, but they've dropped to 96, 97, and 96. When I lie down, it even goes to 93, 94, and 95. Should I consider getting an X-ray? Also, I have a history of GERD problems. What do you suggest?
Azeflo nasal spray is advised for 7 days ,7ml in both the nostrils.Also tab pan d orally,before food for 14 days and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 14 days is advised to the patient.
