I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past two months and it's really getting to me. I've tried all sorts of antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. Why isn't this going away? What else can I do to finally get some relief?

I've got a positive TB gold test, but my sputum for AFB and TB CBNAAT tests came back negative. I don't even have a cough. The CT scan of my abdomen showed lymph nodes in the right iliac fossa, but my gastro doctor couldn't spot them during a colonoscopy. How do I figure out if the TB is active or latent? Would an FDG whole body PET CT help clarify whether it's active or latent TB? I'm a bit confused and could really use some guidance on what to do next.

I've had a dry cough for the last three months, and while I'm generally feeling fine with no fever or anything like that, the cough just won't completely go away. I tried taking Zed S syrup, Corex T syrup, and Bro Clear for three days, but it doesn't seem to clear up entirely. I still get a bit of a cough when I gargle. Could you recommend a medicine that might really help clear it up?

I'm experiencing a runny nose and occasionally a cough since yesterday, and now there's this wheezing sound coming from my chest. Could this be asthma? Should I consider using an inhaler, even though I'm not having trouble breathing?
