I'm having some trouble with shortness of breath and a watery mouth for the past three days. I've tried taking cetirizine and sinarest, but they don't seem to be helping. Any ideas on what might be going on or what I should do next?

I'm really worried. I've been having a constant temperature between 99.2 and 99.6 for over a month and a half now. We did all the tests like blood and urine cultures and they came back negative. I've taken the usual antibiotics but they didn't help. My doctor suggested a chest CT and now there's a suspicion of TB. He mentioned getting a TB test, but I don't have any cough or cold, so we can't do a sputum test. Could you take a look at the CT scan and let me know if it really looks like TB? Also, are there any other confirmatory tests we can do for TB apart from the sputum test?

CBNAAT is the confirmatory test for tuberculosis

I'm really concerned about my father's health. His chest X-ray and CT scan show viral pneumonia, and even though his COVID test came back negative, the pulmonologist suggested repeating it because there might be a false negative. He's been admitted to a hospital and they're giving him five tablets all at once. Could you help me understand what these tablets are for?

Yes, false negative tests .Repeat covid test is advised to the patient Rest continue all the medications as advised by the physician.
