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?

View allMy mom's dealing with some serious breathing issues. She was hospitalized with a chest infection and her lungs are all bloated. They found pseudomonas in her blood culture and she was on Pepar IV three times a day for 10 days, plus steroids, Budamate, and Duolin nebulizers. Even after all that, she's still having trouble breathing and the infections getting worse. After she was discharged, they put her on Linezolid 600 for five days, but it didn't help. Now they've suggested we keep an oxygen cylinder at home because of her breathing problems. Is there anything we can do to keep her oxygen level above 90 without the cylinder at home? Shes also dealing with CKD, thyroid issues, diabetes, and vasculitis. She's currently on a bunch of meds like Pulmoclear, Montair Fx, MMF, Wyslone, Amlip, Aztor, Human Actrapid, Lantus, Erythropoietin, Budamate inhaler, and Dytor. Any guidance would be really appreciated.

I've been wondering about my lung health after smoking for many years, even though I quit some time ago. Is there any way to check how my lungs are doing now, and can I clear out any tar that might have built up in them over the years?
Patient is advised x-ray chest pa view, pulmonary function tests (pft).

Every time I drink any fluids, I end up with this annoying wet cough. I talked to my doctor and they mentioned something about mucosis. I'm really looking for some advice on this. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to prevent it? It's starting to get frustrating.
It sounds like you may be experiencing mucus buildup in your throat triggered by fluid intake. This could be related to conditions like acid reflux, allergies, or postnasal drip. Stay hydrated with warm fluids and avoid irritants; if it persists, consider seeing a specialist for further evaluation.
