I'm still coughing even after being off TB treatment for a couple of months. I never really stopped coughing since I was first diagnosed. I've been free of TB for two months now. I really want to get back to normal life. They checked my sputum again, and it came back negative. Im just wondering what I should do next?

Is it possible for someone with 80% lung damage, maybe from COVID-19, to recover? She seemed to be getting better, but now the doctors are telling us to bring her home and that she might not survive more than a month. They mentioned that only prayers could make a difference. Is there really nothing else we can do?

I'm having a really tough time with my breathing, and recently, I think it might be Phlegm-related. A while back, I had a lot of sugary stuff, and then I started having trouble with this wet cough and lots of Phlegm. My doctor suggested Asthalin AX syrup for this wet cough, and it helped some with the Phlegm. Also, I noticed when I stopped the sweets, the Phlegm kind of stopped too. But even now and then, I still feel like I'm not getting enough air. I've been on some antibiotics for an infection like the Symbiotik capsule, vycor forte tablet, Bethansol tablet, and Asthalin Ax Syrup. I'm really concerned if it's okay to take all these medicines to sort out the shortness of breath because of the Phlegm and the cough. I'm just looking for some advice on how to deal with the short breath due to this cough and Phlegm situation.

I'm dealing with asthma, but for the past 45 months, I've been feeling breathless constantly. There's a lot of yawning and burping happening too. I had an X-ray, which showed everything's fine. I've tried nebulization and other treatments my doctor recommended, but nothing seems to work. Could you offer some advice on what might be happening?

continue the same until symptoms exacerbated, if symptoms exacerbated take inhaler
