I've been dealing with this really persistent cough for the past month, and it gets really bad at night. It's to the point where I have trouble breathing because of the cough. Ive had an X-ray and blood tests, but everything came back normal. Why does my breathing stop at night because of the cough? What's going on?

I've been hearing mixed things about steaming and its effectiveness for people affected by corona. Some sources like blogs and newspapers say it doesn't help at all, while debates on news channels and YouTube videos also suggest it's not beneficial. I'm really confused and concerned. Could you shed some light on whether steaming is actually useful for someone dealing with corona?

I'm taking gastric tablets like Rabiros IT, and I'm also on tuberculosis medication such as RCinex, Combutol, and Pyzina. I'm a bit worried about whether the gastric tablets will affect my TB treatment. Can they interfere with each other?

I'm a bit worried about these dense hilar shadows I've been told I have. Is that something I should be concerned about? I've also been dealing with chest pain and coughing up mucus. What's going on with my lungs?

That could be non specific pneumonia,get a throat swab done and sputum culture and visit Pulmonologist for appropriate management
