I'm really having trouble breathing easily, even though I don't have asthma. It's like there's this hard mucus or phlegm stuck in my chest or lungs that's blocking the air. And every time I breathe, I make this whistling sound. Could you suggest some medicine for this?

Can someone have tuberculosis without showing a cough? I've been feeling unwell lately, but I don't have a cough, and now I'm worried it might be TB. What are the other symptoms I should look out for if it's not just a typical cold or something? I'm a little confused.

I've been dealing with this cough for almost three years and recently finished a course of doxolin 400, pan 40, and montek lc. It began as a dry cough, but now, for the past month, I've been experiencing a burning sensation in the center of my chest. What could be happening? Should I be worried about this chest burn?

My dad has been coughing for the past two months, and we've done all sorts of tests including one for TB, but everything came back negative. His CT scan showed he has a parenchymal cyst in the right lower lobe. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. I've already suggested he uses a Rotacap twice a day, but is there something else we should be considering? What steps should we take moving forward?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
