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?

Every time I drink any fluids, I end up with this annoying wet cough. I talked to my doctor and they mentioned something about mucosis. I'm really looking for some advice on this. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to prevent it? It's starting to get frustrating.

It sounds like you may be experiencing mucus buildup in your throat triggered by fluid intake. This could be related to conditions like acid reflux, allergies, or postnasal drip. Stay hydrated with warm fluids and avoid irritants; if it persists, consider seeing a specialist for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my lungs. Every time I go for a GAMCA medical check, the X-ray shows these small calcified spots in the lungs, and they end up rejecting me for travel to the Gulf countries. Ive never had tuberculosis or any lung disease, though I used to smoke but quit about four months ago. The reports mention calcified nodules in the left hilar region, but doctors tell me it's not a disease and there's no treatment available. I've tried various treatments like homeopathy for six months, allopathy for two months, and ayurveda for a month, but nothing worked. I also got a blood checkup, which was clear. Its just the lungs that are problematic. What can I do to resolve this issue? I really need to find a solution to be able to travel.

CALCIFIED NODULES ARE NOT A DISEASE N ALL UNTREATEDABLE. IN LONG TERM AGO ANY PULMONARY INFECTION IS THEIR UNKNOWINGLY THEY SELF LIMITS SO THE LYMPH NODES ARE CALCIFIED.
