I'm really stressed about this old tuberculosis scar I have. It's seriously causing issues with visa applications, especially in the UAE. Are there any medications or antibiotics that can actually get rid of it? If not, what other options do I have to bypass this hurdle and still secure the visa?

I've been feeling breathless for the past couple of days, but I don't have a fever or a sore throat. I'm really worried it might be the coronavirus. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been dealing with this persistent cough for over a month now, ever since I recovered from COVID. It's really tough because it keeps getting worse at night. Last year around the same time, I had a similar issue where I coughed for more than two months. When I got an X-ray, the doctor said it was allergic bronchitis. The meds didn't help back then, but homeopathic treatments from Ayush did the trick. I'm really at a loss now though. Do you think I should get some tests done to figure out what's going on, or could you suggest any medicines that might help?

I'm trying to make sense of this histopathology report that mentioned "necrotising epithelioid cell granulomas of myco bacterial etiology." What does that mean exactly? Should I be worried about it? Just looking for some clarity on what this might mean for my health.
