I'm having this breathlessness for the last three days, and its really starting to worry me. I've got this weird feeling of postnasal drip happening but no cold or cough. There's just a tiny bit of white mucus, really not much. I've been taking some meds for a couple of days now, but they don't seem to be helping much. In fact, it feels even worse after I eat or lie down. What's going on here? Is there something else I should try or be concerned about?

My dad's been dealing with MDR TB for over 3 months now, and we're waiting on the culture test results. It's a pretty long treatment, like 2 years, but he's been vomiting every day. Any idea what we can do about it?

I'm worried about my loved one who has Parkinson's and can't move. We suspect TB, but they're unable to cough up sputum, and they're also not fit for bronchoscopy or FNAC of the chest. Are there any blood tests or other options to detect TB in this situation? Any advice would be helpful.

I've been dealing with a wheezing cough and shortness of breath for two months. I was on continuous treatment during the first month, but then I stopped. Because the cough got really bad again, I started taking wheezing medicines for the past five days, including Budamate 400 and Airz FF inhalers, along with Levot M and Nayapred just for five days. Initially, the cough and wheezing eased up on the first day of the medication. But now, after 4 to 5 days, even though I'm still taking the meds, the cough sometimes returns and lasts for a while. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening? Should I consider visiting the doctor again?

yes consult your pulmonologist
