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 having trouble with my breathing and my doctor mentioned it's bronchial asthma caused by allergies. He suggested using a Budecort 200 inhaler to help me breathe better. I'm just not too sure how many puffs I should be taking each day. Can you help me figure it out?

2 puffs each time for 2-3 times per day
