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 really worried about my allergic asthma that's been going on for 20 years now. Every March, it seems to get worse, and I've been using the Seretide Accuhaler 50050mcg for the past 15 years. Recently, I've been experiencing difficulty in breathing and a tight feeling in my chest. I just got my chest X-ray done, and it showed haziness in the left lower lung zone with prominent vascular markings. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm really concerned.

The haziness in your left lower lung zone and prominent vascular markings could indicate mild inflammation or fluid retention in the lungs, which may be related to your asthma or a respiratory infection. It's important to consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment adjustments to manage your breathing difficulties and chest tightness.

I've been checking my oxygen levels, and they always seem to hover around 94. That seems low compared to what I've read is normal, but I don't have any breathing issues. Just to give you a bit of background, I had a primary complex when I was 10, and a couple of years ago my pulmonary function test showed mild restriction. I don't feel asthmatic or anything, and I do breathing exercises like anulom vilom every day. My pulse rate is around 60, and I'm physically active, playing all kinds of sports without any problems. I'm a 22-year-old male and am just curious if I should be worried about the oxygen levels or if they might be connected to my past medical history. What do you think?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
