I've been having some issues for a while now and I'm hoping you can help me out. Last year, during the first wave of covid, I had a fever and all the symptoms but never actually got tested. I just went to a nearby hospital, took some steroids and tablets, and then recovered. But ever since, for about nine months now, I've been dealing with this constant mucus coming from my lungs and throat through my mouth, and there's this stuck feeling and congestion in my chest. I've seen a lot of doctors and gone through all sorts of tests like blood, urine, X-Ray, ECG, and even a hologram scan, but they all say everything is fine. I'm still really struggling with these issues. Any ideas what might be going on?

I'm dealing with TB and I've got some fluid in my lungs that's causing me chest pain. The doctor already took some of the fluid out, and that's how they figured out I have TB from the lab results. Should I be worried about the fluid coming back or about any other complications? What steps should I take next, and is there anything specific I should be doing to help my recovery?

I'm really stressed about this old tuberculosis scar I have. It's seriously causing issues with visa applications, especially in the UAE. Are there any medications or antibiotics that can actually get rid of it? If not, what other options do I have to bypass this hurdle and still secure the visa?

Removing old TB scars isn't possible with medication or antibiotics alone
