I'm really worried about my cousin who's in the 12th grade and was just diagnosed with TB, which he was told is linked to some kind of stomach infection. I'm trying to understand, how is TB different from asthma? And is there a possibility that his TB could turn into asthma?

I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, fever, and I just don't feel like eating much these days. I had an x-ray done and it says my bronchovascular markings are prominent. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I've been having some breathing trouble lately, not too severe, but I've noticed I keep yawning every 25 minutes or so. I haven't had any sneezing or coughing, just this annoying breathing issue. Do you have any idea what might be going on or what I should do?

My mom caught COVID back on April 17, 2021, and even though its been a couple of months, her oxygen levels are still fluctuating between 92 and 95. Plus, shes been coughing when she eats. I took her to see a pulmonologist on June 1, and she was under treatment until June 25, but the doctor said we didn't need to go back. Is this normal for her recovery?
