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 suddenly developed a cough with some white mucus, and I've noticed a small drop of blood too, which has never happened to me before. I'm a bit worried since I have young kids, a 4-year-old, and I'm wondering what kind of treatment I should be considering. Can you please advise on what steps to take next?

I'm a 20-year-old and overall pretty healthy, but lately, I've been having this weird issue when I try to breathe deeply. It feels like there's a little clog or something in my throat, and it's like my breath gets stuck there. I end up yawning a lot to try and get a deeper breath. It's really noticeable when I'm exercising, and it's becoming a bit of a problem. I don't have asthma or anything, so Im just wondering what might be going on and if there's anything I can do about it.

take pantop for 3 days if it doesn't solve , do endoscopy
