I've been having a fever, sweet-tasting sputum, and some bowel issues lately. I'm currently taking medication for tuberculosis every day and haven't had any side effects, but now these symptoms have cropped up over the past week. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm having trouble with my breathing and hear a hissing sound when I breathe, especially when I start running. I also feel a tightness in my chest, and I end up coughing a lot. Should I be worried about this, and is there something specific I should be doing or looking into?

Patient is advised to continue budecort 200 rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty.

I'm a 20-year-old student and I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past 10 years. Every April, I struggle with breathlessness and a lot of mucus in my chest, it gets pretty congested. I don't eat anything that would increase mucus, just stick to simple homemade foods, but it keeps happening. I use a nebulizer to help out, but I'm worried if this is something I'm going to have to deal with for life. Do you know if there's any way to cure this or make it better?

yes it is for years till the symptoms cure

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing shortness of breath, especially after meals and at night. I've gone through all the heart-related tests and they've come back normal, so I'm unsure what's causing it. Can you help me figure out the root cause of my breathing problem and what I can do to solve it?
