Question 1

I've been experiencing this weird chest congestion and discomfort for about six months now. I went to see a cardiologist and got an echo test done, and they said my heart is fine. There's no pain coming from the heart area either. But this annoying chest pressure just keeps coming and going. It's not interfering with my daily activities, but I have been feeling more tired than usual. Breathing isn't an issue, thankfully. However, today I noticed a sore throat along with the chest congestion. There's no mucus with blood or anything alarming like that, but the discomfort is still there from my throat to my chest. Could you offer some advice on this?

take tablet amoxyclav for 5 days

Question 2

I'm really worried about my grandfather. He was diagnosed with TB about seven months ago and took medication for six months which ended on December 16, 2022. It's been about a month since then, but for the past ten days, he's been coughing excessively again. Last time when he was on the ATT drug, he felt uncomfortable and his SGPT and SGOT levels were really high. We got some tests done and, thankfully, his LFT and CBC reports are normal now. But the sputum test came back positive again. Our doctor has currently prescribed Amoxicillin 625 mg, Montelukast 10 mg, and a cough syrup. I'm trying to figure out if he should go back on the TB medicine or if there's something else we should consider. Could you give me some advice on what the next steps might be?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I'm really concerned because I've had this persistent cough for 25 days now, and it's accompanied by pain on the left side of my chest and a lot of fatigue, but I don't have any fever. I went to a doctor who recommended some tests and here are the results: my ESR is at 48 mm1hr, TEC is 4.17 Cumm, and while my CBC came back normal, my white blood cell count is at 13.9 Thmm3. My Serum Vitamin D3 is pretty low at 20.5 ngml, and I tested negative for Sputum for AFB. I'm not sure what all this means and should I be worried about these results?
