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'm experiencing some shortness of breath, fever, and I just don't feel like eating much these days. I had an x-ray done and it says my bronchovascular markings are prominent. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm really worried about my dad. It's been 15 days since he got out of the hospital after having COVID-19. They told us to get a post-COVID test, and now the X-ray shows he's got hazy opacities in the mid to lower parts of both lungs. He also had pneumonia when he was dealing with COVID. Can you tell me what's going on and what we should do?

I've been having some issues for a while now and I'm hoping you can help me out. Last year, during the first wave of covid, I had a fever and all the symptoms but never actually got tested. I just went to a nearby hospital, took some steroids and tablets, and then recovered. But ever since, for about nine months now, I've been dealing with this constant mucus coming from my lungs and throat through my mouth, and there's this stuck feeling and congestion in my chest. I've seen a lot of doctors and gone through all sorts of tests like blood, urine, X-Ray, ECG, and even a hologram scan, but they all say everything is fine. I'm still really struggling with these issues. Any ideas what might be going on?

if tests are normal need not worry, start taking some cough syrup ,drink hot water
