I'm worried about my dad. He had TB last year, and we finished his treatment in April. But now it looks like the TB is coming back. Could you recommend a really good doctor?

I'm 21 and I've noticed that my right hilar shadow is more prominent, and there are lymph nodes involved. I don't have a cough or fever, but I sometimes feel a bit breathless, which I think might be from worrying too much. Is this something serious, or is it normal? Should I be seeing a doctor about it?

Tab Azithromycin 500mg.orally,daily,once daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried and need some advice. My son-in-law is having a really hard time with a chest infection that's turned into the worst case of pneumonia. It's so bad that he's on ICU now and struggling to breathe. The doctor currently handling his case is a general physician and seems good, but I'm wondering if we should consult a chest specialist since this is related to chest infection. Do you think this situation is curable soon? I'm just really worried and would appreciate any suggestions on what steps we should take next.

start antibiotics and consult pulmonologist
