I'm really worried and feeling quite anxious. I had COVID last month and was doing fine, but now, 15 days into recovery, I've started having a productive cough and some mild pain when I cough. I got an X-ray that showed hilar lymphadenopathy. My oxygen is at 99, blood pressure is normal, and I don't have a fever. I just got my CBC count done and attached the report. I'm terrified about what this might mean. Is this something serious? Will I be okay? Here's the treatment I'm currently on: Monocef O CV, Amcon, Mucinac 600, and today they added Deflacort 6. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

My uncle is 56 and has a tubercular infection in his lymph nodes. He's been on anti-tubercular drugs for 19 months but there's no improvement. Are there any good doctors or hospitals in India, preferably Delhi, who specialize in this? Is surgery the only option left for him now?

If your uncle hasn‚Äôt improved after 19 months of anti-tubercular treatment, it's important to evaluate for drug-resistant TB or alternative diagnoses. I recommend consulting a specialist at AIIMS Delhi or the National Institute of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases (NITRD). Surgery is considered only if there‚Äôs an abscess or complications not responding to medical therapy.

I'm 39 and recently, like about 20 days ago, I've been having some issues with my breathing because of a cold. I got an X-ray done and it showed something like "bilateral hilar prominence." What does that mean? Should I be worried? What's the best thing to do next?

Probable diagnosis is upper respiratory tract infection.Patient is advised tab augmentin 625mg orally,thrice dailly for 5 days,tab levocetrizine 10 mg for 5 days and syrup salbutoml 10 ml thrice dailly for 5 days.
