I've been having this pain at the edge of my left chest whenever I take a deep breath. It's been going on for five days and doesn't seem to be getting any better. Could you tell me what might be causing this? I'm a bit worried because my normal breaths don't hurt, only the deep ones do. Any advice on what I should do next?

View allMy mom's been coughing pretty badly for the last 3 weeks, and she also noticed some blood when she coughs. Her X-ray showed slightly prominent upper broncho vascular markings in both lungs, and her cardio thoracic ratio is a bit high. She's also been getting fevers and having trouble breathing. I'm really worriedcould these be signs of tuberculosis? Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Given your mother's symptoms of a persistent cough, blood in the cough, fever, and breathing issues, along with the X-ray findings of prominent broncho-vascular markings and a mildly raised cardio-thoracic ratio, these could be concerning for a respiratory condition such as tuberculosis (TB) or other lung infections. It is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation, including sputum tests and possibly a CT scan, to confirm the diagnosis and start appropriate treatment.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've just finished 9 months of my anti-TB medication, but I'm still experiencing mild chest pain. My report mentions old healed Koch's infiltration and mild bronchitis. Should I be concerned about this pain, or is it something that happens sometimes?
The mild chest pain you're experiencing after completing 9 months of anti-TB medication is likely due to residual inflammation or scarring from the healed TB infection, and the mild bronchitis; however, it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out any other underlying conditions,
