I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past two weeks and it's driving me crazy. I've already tried Clavam 625 and taking Budesal 1 mg twice daily, along with doing steam inhalations, but nothing is really helping. I'm feeling really tired and just want to know what else I can do to get better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm experiencing tightness in my chest and it's becoming hard to breathe. I've been diagnosed with allergic bronchitis and usually use my asthalin inhaler, but it's not providing much relief this time. My nose feels sort of blocked, though I don't have any other symptoms like a cough or cold. I've tried taking Allegra too, but the tightness in my chest just won't go away. What could be going on?

I'm really stressed about this old tuberculosis scar I have. It's seriously causing issues with visa applications, especially in the UAE. Are there any medications or antibiotics that can actually get rid of it? If not, what other options do I have to bypass this hurdle and still secure the visa?

Removing old TB scars isn't possible with medication or antibiotics alone
