I'm really worried about him. He recently got over COVID but now has this lung infection. His HCRT was at 1525 back in May, but when he got out of the hospital at the end of the month, it was down to 1125. His other tests like CRP and D-dimer seem normal, but he's been having some issues. He gets constipated, and in the mornings, he starts coughing a lot which gets better after he freshens up and burps. Similar thing happens after dinner; he coughs until he belches and then it's like back to normal. He keeps feeling like there's something stuck in his neck. Plus, he's type 2 diabetic, which concerns me. Can you suggest some medication or treatment that might help him?

I'm a bit worried about these dense hilar shadows I've been told I have. Is that something I should be concerned about? I've also been dealing with chest pain and coughing up mucus. What's going on with my lungs?

That could be non specific pneumonia,get a throat swab done and sputum culture and visit Pulmonologist for appropriate management

I was at a government hospital last month because I was losing weight and having a lot of vomiting. After a month of tests, they started me on tuberculosis meds. Some doctors told me I have TB, but others weren't sure. I'm really confused because I don't have the usual TB symptoms like coughing. I'm worried because it's been 21 days on the medication, but the vomiting hasn't stopped. Could you help me figure out if I really have TB or what's going on?

do CBNAAT to confirm the TB , for vomiting take tab vasograin

I'm really worried because I've had this cough for about 10 days now. I tried taking Banocide and Zyrcold, but they didn't help. I'm thinking about trying Azax 500, but I'm unsure if it's safe for me to take. Could you give me some advice on this?
