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 was diagnosed with abdominal TB four months ago, and I'm wondering when my lymph nodes might disappear. How will I know if my TB is cured, and when will that be? I'm feeling okay right now and taking Rcinex 600 and Combutol 800. Is that enough to cure the TB? Ive attached a CT scan for reference. I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB back in 2018 and got treated, but it came back in June 2020. My doctor had me get a chest CT scan, and I attached the report. Can you explain what "collapse consolidated left upper lobe with tiny calcification" means, and why are there still subcentimeter lymph nodes present after treatment? Could this be MDR TB, and how can I check for MDR? I have no cough or weight loss. Also, what does it mean if lymph nodes are heterogeneous?

collapsed means shrunken lung , and need to test TB again

I'm really worried about my lungs as I've been a smoker, but I quit. I haven't had breathing issues so far, but I'm concerned they might pop up in the future. I do yoga and breathing exercises regularlycan those help repair my damaged cilia, or should I see a pulmonologist? Are there any pre-treatments available? I'd appreciate any advice you can offer.

Do regular exercises you will be fine

I'm a bit confused about the Metaspray 10 ML Nasal the doctor recommended for me. How long am I supposed to use it? Also, I got a Levolin Inhaler prescribed, but I'm not sure when and for how long to start using it. Can you help clarify this for me?

meta nasal spray use it for 2 weeks and levolin inhaler also for 2 weeks . if symptoms persists more than 2 weeks continue it for 1 more week and visit your respective doctor
