I'm having some trouble with my breathing and I already tried the pantosec d gas tablet that my doctor recommended. I also saw a pulmonologist, had a chest X-ray and an ECG, and both came out normal. There didn't seem to be any problems, so no meds were given. Do you think I might still need any medication or other tests?

My mom's been diagnosed with TB, and I'm really worried. In the evenings, her temperature goes up to about 100-101.5F. Is that kind of fever normal for someone dealing with TB? And once she starts taking her medication, how long can we expect this fever to stick around?

Around 5 days.
