I've been dealing with a persistent cough for almost three months now. Whenever I take Deriphyllin 150mg and Cetrizine, it seems to help for about 20 hours, but then the cough comes back at night. What do you think I should do?

It sounds like your cough may be persistent, possibly due to an underlying issue like allergies or respiratory inflammation. I recommend consulting your doctor for further evaluation and possibly adjusting your treatment plan, as the relief youre experiencing may be temporary.

I'm really worried about my mom who's been on pulmonary tb meds for six months now. They didn't find any cavities, just some infections initially, and she's feeling better, but I came across a few blogs that said these meds might actually harm the lungs and could lead to more infections down the line. Is that something we should be worried about? What should we do to prevent any long-term issues? Would love some advice.

I've been dealing with this cough and some phlegm in my throat, but oddly, there's no fever or cold symptoms along with it. It's just the cough thats bugging me, even after one round of antibiotics. I dont cough all the time, but I can definitely feel that there's phlegm there. What's going on here? Should I be concerned or doing something different?

I'm really worried after getting my chest X-ray results. It says there's patchy opacity in the left lower zone and something about broncho vascular. What does this mean, and how serious could it be? Should I be concerned?
