Question 1

I've been having some issues for a while now and I'm hoping you can help me out. Last year, during the first wave of covid, I had a fever and all the symptoms but never actually got tested. I just went to a nearby hospital, took some steroids and tablets, and then recovered. But ever since, for about nine months now, I've been dealing with this constant mucus coming from my lungs and throat through my mouth, and there's this stuck feeling and congestion in my chest. I've seen a lot of doctors and gone through all sorts of tests like blood, urine, X-Ray, ECG, and even a hologram scan, but they all say everything is fine. I'm still really struggling with these issues. Any ideas what might be going on?

Accepted Answer

if tests are normal need not worry, start taking some cough syrup ,drink hot water

Question 2

I'm really worried about my lungs. Every time I go for a GAMCA medical check, the X-ray shows these small calcified spots in the lungs, and they end up rejecting me for travel to the Gulf countries. Ive never had tuberculosis or any lung disease, though I used to smoke but quit about four months ago. The reports mention calcified nodules in the left hilar region, but doctors tell me it's not a disease and there's no treatment available. I've tried various treatments like homeopathy for six months, allopathy for two months, and ayurveda for a month, but nothing worked. I also got a blood checkup, which was clear. Its just the lungs that are problematic. What can I do to resolve this issue? I really need to find a solution to be able to travel.

CALCIFIED NODULES ARE NOT A DISEASE N ALL UNTREATEDABLE.
IN LONG TERM AGO ANY PULMONARY INFECTION IS THEIR UNKNOWINGLY THEY SELF LIMITS SO THE LYMPH NODES ARE CALCIFIED.

Question 3

I'm really starting to worry because even though I've been on the treatment for Tuberculosis since early August, I'm not seeing any improvement. I have these persistent symptoms like daily evening fevers and joint pains, and I've stopped losing weight but not gaining back what I lostI used to weigh 62 kg and now I'm stuck at 55 kg. The CECT scan showed some enlarged lymph nodes in different areas like prevascular and hilar regions, and I can't get rid of this feeling that it might be something more serious, like a malignancy. It's been 6 weeks since I started the treatment. Is it time to consider other possibilities or should I stick with the current treatment plan a little longer?

Accepted Answer

Continue same treatment ATT as advised by the physician.
