I'm wondering about my situation with TB. I've been on the AKT 4 kit for 35 days now and have kept myself quarantined this whole time, always wearing a mask. Is it safe for me to stop wearing the mask and be around my family? I'm just a bit anxious about making sure I'm not putting them at risk.

I'm curious and a bit worried about something that's been happening. Whenever I cough, I notice a clear liquid, almost like saliva, coming from my mouth. It's got this salty-sweet taste to it. It's not discolored like yellow or green, just clear, but I'm unsure what might be causing this. Can you help me understand what's going on?

it might be due to some infection ,try syrup ascoril
