I've been dealing with phlegm for about a month now, but I don't have any other symptoms that make me feel like I'm sick. I've already talked to a local doctor, but I was hoping to get a second opinion on what might be going on. Any ideas?

I recently started my TB medication and usually take it around 9 in the morning, but I messed up and forgot to have it on time. I just remembered it at about 11 at night and decided to take it then. I'm worried if taking it so late might cause any issues. Should I be concerned about this lapse in my schedule?
