I'm really worried about my son. He's been on TB treatment for 120 days now, but his cough hasn't got any better. How long should it usually take for the cough to improve while on the medication? Do you think he might need additional meds? He's taking akurit 3 right now.

View allI've got my CT results back showing a 2.8cm mass, and my sputum test came out positive for TB. I'm really confused about what to do next. Should I start with AKT4 treatment right away, or do I still need to get a biopsy done first?

I've had this cough for about six months now. I've been taking Sigcet M, Azithromycin, and Ceftriaxone, and also using cough syrup. I even checked my sputum three times, and it was negative each time. I did a CBNAAT test, and that was negative too. What should I do next? I'm really worried and looking for some advice.

I'm experiencing a bit of pain in my right shoulder, kind of in the back area. I just had an X-ray on my spine, both AP and lateral views. The results mentioned something about a "suspicious opacity" in the posterior mediastinum and some pleural thickening. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm a bit worried about it.
