I'm feeling a bit worried because I've just finished 9 months of my anti-TB medication, but I'm still experiencing mild chest pain. My report mentions old healed Koch's infiltration and mild bronchitis. Should I be concerned about this pain, or is it something that happens sometimes?

The mild chest pain you're experiencing after completing 9 months of anti-TB medication is likely due to residual inflammation or scarring from the healed TB infection, and the mild bronchitis; however, it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out any other underlying conditions,

I'm dealing with wheezing and got this dust allergy thing going on too. My PFT results came back saying there's some restrictive airways action happening. I'm using Maxiflo 250mg rotocaps inhalers, but I still get a bit of wheezing sometimes. Does that sound like I need to switch up my meds, or is this normal?

the medication is okay

I'm just a bit concerned about some lingering symptoms after recovering from COVID-19. I spent 9 days in the hospital and was discharged once my symptoms eased up. My CT chest report mentioned 5 to 10 viral pneumonia with no fibrosis, and they said it was corad 5. Bloodwork was all normal. It's been 30 days now, but I still have a mild dry cough, tightness in my chest, and occasional nausea that comes and goes. Is this something to worry about, or is it a normal part of the recovery process? Also, is the 5 to 10 viral pneumonia significant, or nothing too serious?

it is normal, but try increasing your immunity

I'm wondering if it's okay to take AB Phylline SR tablets instead of the AB Phylline N tablets that my doctor recommended for my continuous and excessive mucus issue. I can't seem to find the N tablets in my area, just the SR ones. Could you let me know if it's alright to make this switch?

It's best to follow your doctor's prescription, as there may be specific reasons for recommending AB Phylline N. However, if AB Phylline SR is the only option available, I would advise consulting your doctor or pharmacist before switching to ensure it's suitable for your condition.
