I'm having trouble with chest congestion every time I catch even a small cold or cough. It gets really tough because it leads to wheezing, and sometimes, taking a deep breath actually causes a bit of pain in my chest. I'm looking for advice on how to tackle this long-term. Can you help me out with this?

I've been having some chest pain recently, like a sharp sting right in the center and to the sides. Finished my TB treatment about a year ago, and it's been 9 months since that. Did some tests like sputum, CBNAT, and X-rays; all came back clear. But for the past couple of months, I've had this mucus issue. No coughing really, but if I try to irritate it, some white mucus comes out. Do you think it's possible for TB to be coming back, or could it be something else?

its better you test for tuberculosis sputum test once again
