It's been a year now on the anti-TB treatment, and I'm really hoping to understand how things are going. I've attached the chest X-ray report, and I'd love if you could take a look and let me know what it means. Do you think things are progressing well?

View allI'm dealing with a bit of a dry cough for a while now, and it feels like it's from some throat irritation. It's been going on for about 50 days, and I'm also having slight trouble with my breathing. I went to see an ENT specialist, and he mentioned it's just acidity, but I haven't had any stomach burning at all. It feels more like something's really bothering my throat, and that's why the dry cough is there. What could be going on here? Can you help figure this out?

I've been diagnosed with TB, but my report said something about pulmonary kost. They found pleural fluid in my lungs and did tapping to drain it. Now, I'm experiencing some aches from the scarring. I'm trying to understand what the exact name of my disease is. Is it tuberculosis? What type is it? Or is it something completely different like pneumonia? How are these terms connected? Also, what's the root cause of this issue Im having? Can I have cold food now or after I finish my medication? I'm curious about ways to prevent this from happening again in the future. I had this disease over a year ago and was on medication for about six months. After that, I was mostly okay, just some aches here and there, which the doctor said is normal. Then, a month later, I got diagnosed again with the fluid in my lungs. Why did it come back? Is it dangerous?

I'm 26 and I've noticed that my oxygen level on the pulse oximeter is usually at 95, but sometimes it drops to 93 before going back to 95. My pulse rate is mostly around 92. I don't have any other symptoms, so I'm wondering if this is normal. Which type of doctor should I see about this?
A pulse oximeter reading of 93-95% is generally within an acceptable range, though it can vary slightly depending on factors like positioning or movement. Since you dont have other symptoms, it's likely normal, but if you're concerned, consulting a **general physician** or a **pulmonologist** for a thorough evaluation would be a good idea.
