I've been dealing with this choking sensation for almost a year now, and it really feels like I'm short of breath. I end up coughing a lot, trying to make it better, and it kind of feels like I'm going to vomit, but nothing ever comes outno vomiting, no sputum. I haven't had any fever either. I got a chest X-ray done a couple of days ago and everything seemed normal, and about five months ago, I had an HD Chest Scan, 2D Echo, and another X-rayall normal too. I'm taking Montek LC half a tablet at night and using an inhaler, but nothing's helping. What could this be?

I'm currently dealing with a heavy cough and cold, despite taking mox 250 capsule and levosiz 5mg tablet. These have helped me breathe easier, but I'm still feeling a sore throat, and it feels like the cough is stuck in my chest but comes out when I cough. Can you suggest a more permanent solution to fully recover from this?

Will vaccines like Covaxin and Covishield be effective against the Omicron variant? I'm also a bit worried about how much damage this variant can cause to the lungs of a healthy person. Can you shed some light on this?

I've got a bit of a situation and was hoping to get some advice. About 30 years ago, I had TB and went through 9 months of treatment. Everything's been fine since then, and Ive stayed fit without any problems. But when I was in Dubai in 2016, during a medical test, they found an old scar on my chest and deported me, even though all my other tests like blood, skin, and sputum came back negative. I'm really curious if there's any kind of medicine or treatment out there that can help clear up or minimize this scar on an x-ray. I'd love to know what my options might be so that I can consider getting treatment and avoid issues like this in the future.

It's great to hear that you're healthy and have no current issues. Unfortunately, there is no medicine to remove or "clean" an old TB scar on an X-ray. However, the scar doesn't necessarily affect your health. You may want to consult a pulmonologist or a specialist to explore options for presenting your case in a way that addresses the medical concerns.
