I've been having this weird feeling at night where my chest feels tight and it's really hard to breathe. It almost feels like something's stuck in my throat. It's starting to make me worry. What could be causing this?

I'm really struggling with how to boost my immunity during the cold season and I'm also worried about my breathing issues. I want to minimize using my inhaler as much as possible. Could you offer any advice on how to handle this?

I'm dealing with a dry cough that's been lingering for the past 7 days. I've been taking montair lc and alex cough syrup, and while there's been some relief, it feels like the cough actually gets worse when I'm at home. Is that normal, or is there something else I should be doing to help with this?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's had coughing problems for the past few days, and he just did a Mantoux test which showed a 45 mm reading after 48 hours. Could this be a sign of tuberculosis?

Do CBNAAT and chest x ray to confirm your diagnosis
