I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've been having this stubborn dry cough and chest pain that just won't go away. It's been sticking around since I caught a cold about four weeks ago. Sometimes it's not too bad, but other times it gets really severe. I saw an ENT who gave me some antibiotics and syrup to try for five days, but there's been no change. The doctor mentioned something about needing a blood test if things dont get better after this. What could be causing this? Should I be worried about needing further tests, or is this just a common thing after a cold?

View allI'm really worried because I've been diagnosed with what they're calling infective etiology Koch's. Is this a really serious condition? Also, is there a treatment available for it?
Koch's disease, commonly known as tuberculosis (TB), is a serious infectious disease, but it is treatable with a course of antibiotics, typically lasting 6-9 months. Early diagnosis and consistent treatment are key to a full recovery, so it's important to follow your doctor's advice closely.

I'm currently on my sixth month of TB treatment, but I've been having this cough for about 10-15 days now. I went to the doctor and he said it's nothing serious, just continued with my usual meds like Rcinex. He also gave me something for allergies like Allegra and some antibiotics. But I saw on my X-ray report from the radiologist that it says "bronchiovascular marking is prominent in bilateral lung field" and I'm wondering if I should be worried about this?
yes it is finding of tuberculosis , it will go away after complete treatment of tuberculosis

I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing, especially in the mornings when I wake up. It's been going on for almost 2 months now. I've also been dealing with flu-like symptoms for about 20 days and my nose is blocked quite often, even though I've been taking Montek LC. It doesn't seem to be helping much. There's also a weird sensation in my chest like I need to cough, but it just doesn't happen. I don't have a sore throat or fever, so I'm a bit confused. By the way, I've had gastric issues for a long time. What would you suggest I do?
take syrup ascoril for 5 days and take tablet monteclc if you are allergic
