I'm experiencing this weird thing where every time I breathe, there seems to be a sound coming from my lungs, and I start coughing non-stop. Plus, I can't seem to get a good night's sleep because of it. Do you think there's something wrong with my lungs, or could it be something else?

I've been diagnosed with tuberculosis and need osteochondral surgery can I still go ahead with it? What's the usual process for this kind of surgery and are there any risks because of the TB?

It is generally not recommended to undergo elective osteochondral surgery while actively battling tuberculosis (TB). TB can reactivate or disseminate during and after surgery, and it can also complicate the healing process. It's crucial to defer the osteochondral surgery until the TB has been thoroughly treated and stabilized

Why haven't my cough and thick sputum gone away even after 10 years since taking CAT1? Now I've been diagnosed with MDR, and although I don't have major issues apart from the constant coughing, it's really persistent, especially in the morning. I also get tired easily throughout the day. Could this lingering cough be related to MDR, and is it normal to feel this tired all the time? Should I be worried about missing chest pains or aches? What can I do to manage this better?

take treatment for MDR tuberculosis
