I'm dealing with TB and I've got some fluid in my lungs that's causing me chest pain. The doctor already took some of the fluid out, and that's how they figured out I have TB from the lab results. Should I be worried about the fluid coming back or about any other complications? What steps should I take next, and is there anything specific I should be doing to help my recovery?

I've been dealing with some troubling symptoms after testing positive for COVID-19 about 23 days ago. I initially experienced fever, cold, and cough, and took Paracetamol, Azithromycin, Vitamin C, and Zincovit syrup for about 6 days. I also did some Khadi steaming. But now, I'm having a persistent chest pain that's been going on for about 34 days. It hurts more when I take a deep breath. I've always had dust allergies and a wheezing problem, especially in cold climates. Thankfully, I no longer have fever, cough, or cold, and my oxygen saturation is between 95 to 97, but I'm worried because walking for more than 10 minutes is difficult. Could these chest pains be related to my previous conditions, or should I be concerned about something else?

I've been noticing blood when I sneeze for a while now, and it's showing up in my sputum too. It started back in March 2016, and although I tested negative for TB, a doctor recommended a budamate inhaler and TelecastL, which helped stop the bleeding. I stopped the medication after a couple of months without consulting the doctor, and now the bleeding is back. The doctor suggested a bronchoscopy, but there aren't any available beds at the hospital, and now the doctor is on leave. I already had a CT scan done on my chest, but I'm really concerned about what might be causing this hemoptysis and what steps I should take next. Could you give me some guidance?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
