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 really struggling with this issue and it's been over a year now. I've seen several doctors - 3 ENT specialists and 2 DTCD doctors. My main issue is this constant feeling of congestion and mucus in my throat. It doesn't bother me at night or when I'm sleeping, but during the day, it feels like I always need to clear my throat. A chest specialist recently prescribed me the Aerocart inhaler, which I used three times a day for 10 days, then twice daily, and finally once a day, but after 30 days, there was no improvement. They then suggested I try Theo Asthalin tablets twice a day, but it's been 2 days and still no change. What should I do next? This is really starting to worry me.

I've been struggling with breathing issues for the past 45 days. It feels like the air isnt fully filling my chest, and I have to take deep breaths for 15 to 30 seconds for things to feel normal. I don't have a cold, cough, or fever, but today my throat is super dry and it feels like theres pressure inside. What could be going on? I'm really worried.

I've had TB before back in 2010, but I got through it with treatment. Recently though, I've been experiencing some worrying symptoms. I've got a little chest pain mainly on the right side, there's dry coughing, and it kind of feels like there's a bloody taste in my mouth when I'm trying to get to sleep. There's also some appetite loss going on. Could these be signs of something serious, or am I overthinking it?
