I've been dealing with a cough that I had a couple of months ago, and while it seems to be gone now, I'm still having trouble with persistent mucus. Recently, I've started feeling some chest tightness and alternating mild to moderate pain. Just a few days ago, my throat was also bothering me. I'm really concerned about what's causing all these symptoms, especially during this lockdown. Any advice on what I should do?

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've been having this stubborn dry cough and chest pain that just won't go away. It's been sticking around since I caught a cold about four weeks ago. Sometimes it's not too bad, but other times it gets really severe. I saw an ENT who gave me some antibiotics and syrup to try for five days, but there's been no change. The doctor mentioned something about needing a blood test if things dont get better after this. What could be causing this? Should I be worried about needing further tests, or is this just a common thing after a cold?

yes do a blood test ,- complete blood count, CRP

I've been on meds for pulmonary tuberculosis since January 2nd, but I stopped taking them on June 28th without checking in with my doctor. After about ten days, I started them again. Now, I've got some serious chest and stomach pain. Could this be because of how I stopped and started the meds? What should I do?

donot stop tuberculosis medicines, consult your pulmonologist for further treatment process
