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 feeling really confused and a bit worried after I got my results from a pre-medical exam for work on Wednesday. My X-ray results mentioned something about "pulmo clearance," and I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. I haven't had any issues with TB, or even a cough in the past year. Can you help me understand what I should do next?

"Pulmo clearance" in your X-ray result likely indicates that there are no significant issues or abnormalities in your lungs, and your lungs appear clear. Its reassuring that you haven't experienced symptoms like coughing, especially related to tuberculosis (TB). Given your history, its important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further clarification and ensure that all pre-employment health requirements are met.

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and I've been using Foracort 200 puff for a couple of months now because of my shortness of breath. I've been doing 1 puff in the morning and another in the evening. I'm starting to feel better and don't have any breathing issues now. Can I cut back to just taking a puff in the morning? I've been checking my peak flow meter at home.

Yes,continue same treatment. As advised by the physician.

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a cough for the past 23 months. I've seen a few doctors, but nothing seems to be improving. It's really frustrating. Can you tell me what might be going on or suggest what I should try next?
