I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having this thick, yellow, milky mucus with a little bit of blood in it from his nose in the mornings. The rest of the day, there's no blood, just yellow-green mucus, even though it's been two weeks since he started antibiotics. He was prescribed Azithromycin for five days and Doxycycline twice daily. Twice he coughed up some blood, but it stopped on the same day. Now, he's mostly coughing up white, thick phlegm. This started after his fever went away. What do you think might be going on? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

View allI'm really concerned about my sister who's been in treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis for a bit now. Her recent x-ray showed 45% damage on her right lung and 15% on the left one. These numbers worry me, and I'm unsure if this is a serious issue. The doctors mentioned lung cavities. Does this mean shes in a risky situation? Also, shes able to sit and walk but gets tired quickly when walking for too long. Shes only 20 years old. Is there any possibility that her lungs can heal and return to their original state? I'm wondering if the damage can be reversed since she's still young.
yes there are chances it can become normal. it takes sometime after completion of treatment

I'm looking at my chest X-ray and I'm a bit anxious. Can you tell me if everything looks okay? How does it compare to what a normal X-ray should look like? I had COVID about 1.5 months ago and I'm just trying to make sure my recovery is on track.

I've been dealing with constant wheezing even after using Budamate inhalers at 400 mcg three times a day and taking Montelukast. Sometimes the wheezing is really loud, and other times it's just a bit quieter, but it never completely goes away. It's winter now where I live. My peak flow meter reads 650. I'm really looking for a permanent solution to my wheezing. When might it fully stop?
