I've been having some trouble breathing at certain times during the day, but it's weird because when I'm working out at the gym, I don't have any issues. What could this be? Is it something I should be worried about?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been on TB medication for 10 days now, but he's started having sharp pain in his back where his lungs are, especially when he breathes. The doctor mentioned before it might be swelling in the lungs, but now the pain's gotten much worse. Is this something new we should be concerned about, or is it related to the TB treatment? Any advice would be appreciated.

I've been getting this slight cough since May and I don't usually cough a lot, but I feel like there's some chest congestion. Could it be that there's thickened mucus there? This seems to happen once a year now for about the past 5 years. Normally, I just take regular cough syrup and it goes away, but this time I haven't taken anything. Should I be worried or do anything different?

take tablet mucinac for 5 days twice a day
