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've been experiencing some light crackling sounds in my right lung base, but only when I lie down stretched out. Even when I hold my breath and push in the central lung area, the crackles tend to come and go. If I shift my position even slightly, they disappear. There's no chest pain, and these crackles are just occasional. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something serious?

The light crackles youre experiencing may be related to mild lung congestion or postural changes affecting air flow, which can be common and not usually serious, especially if theres no chest pain or difficulty breathing. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's a good idea to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm currently on treatment for tuberculosis, and I've been running a fever between 99.5 and 100.3 during the day, but at night it's spiking up to 102-103. It's been almost 27 days since I started the treatment. I'm just wondering if this level of fever is normal and when I might see some improvement. Could you shed some light on what's going on?

start taking dolo650mg at night if you are facing this issue. If it is still not reducing take injection paracetamol IM for 3 days.
