I've been having a cold for the last couple of days, and now Im dealing with some breathing issues. My chest feels really dry and kind of congested, like it's hard to breathe and I'm a bit suffocated. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal part of having a cold? What should I do to feel better?

View allI recently got a chest x-ray for a job, and the results mentioned something about increased right basal marking pneumonitis, non-specific. Ive had asthma since I was a kid, and now I'm worried if these results are connected to that. Could I be developing pneumonitis, and what steps should I take next? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

I'm 27 and have been on TB treatment for a couple of months now. It all started with lymph nodes popping up in my neck, and tests showed it was Koch's. They gave me AKt 4, but it caused skin rashes and headaches, so I had to stay in the hospital for about 15 days. Now I'm on COMBUNEX 800, CLARIBID 250, and Ambistryn injections. I've been on this treatment for about 45 days already, and I'm wondering if 60 injections will be enough. What should I expect next in this treatment process?
It's common to experience side effects like skin rashes and headaches during tuberculosis (TB) treatment, especially in the initial phase. The number of injections required can vary based on your individual response to treatment, but 60 injections might be sufficient if prescribed by your physician. It's important to follow up with your doctor to monitor progress and address any concerns regarding side effects or treatment adjustments.

I recently got an HRCT scan done for a surgery, and the report mentioned a small fibrotic patch in the middle lobe close to the oblique fissure. The rest of the HRCT of my chest is basically normal with no signs of viral pneumonia. But I'm pretty worried about this fibrotic patch. I dont have any bad habits or anything like that. Should I be concerned about this?
