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?

I'm having a tough time with allergic rhinitis and bronchitis and it's been going on for a while. Lately, I've noticed shallow breathing and that wheezing sound is a real concern. The cough is driving me crazy, it's been three weeks now. Could you tell me which specialist I should see for this?

How long is it safe to keep a pulse oximeter on my finger? I've noticed that when I leave it on for a while, the readings sometimes start to drop. Is this something to be concerned about?
