I'm experiencing frequent shortness of breath for several months now. I've always had a habit of taking deep breaths since I was a kid, but it's been feeling more uncomfortable lately. I mostly have a sedentary lifestyle because I'm working from home. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with Tuberculosis for the past two months, and although she was discharged from the hospital two weeks ago, she's still struggling. The doctors diagnosed her with mycobacterium tuberculosis and recommended she take Akurvit4 in the morning after meals, along with Benadon and some cough syrup. They mentioned it could take 12 weeks for her cough to improve, but it's been a little over two weeks, and she's still having cough and low-grade fevers. Is this normal? How long should I wait to see more improvement? She's had only a slight relief, but I'm getting concerned because it's not what we were hoping for.

Yes,continue same treatment as advised by the physician.
