I've been on treatment for TB in my lungs for about 80 days now, and while I've noticed I'm not coughing as much, Ive started getting yellow mucus in the mornings for the past 15 days. Sometimes it even has a bit of blood in it. Is this something to worry about? Will the coughing go away completely, and is it normal to see blood in the mucus? I've attached my CT scan report for you to check out.

I'm worried because I recently tested IGG positive and have been having trouble with my breathing for the past month.

Please help.

I'm having some trouble with low breathing when I'm in hilly areas. I got my TMT and echo tests done, and they came back normal. Should I be worried about staying in the hills, or would it be better for me to move back to a more level area?

High altitude is the cause. seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.

I came down with covid about 18 days ago and ended up in the hospital for 5 days. I was admitted 4 days after my symptoms started, mostly high fever, though my sp02 was normal. My CRP levels were at 6 when I was admitted but after 5 days of treatment, they dropped to 0.69 so they sent me home. I'm on some meds now, including predmet 8mg, but I stopped taking it since it messed with my blood sugar. My chest CT scan showed 30-40% lung involvement. Should I be worried about developing lung fibrosis in the future?

you shouldn't suddenly stop any medicine. there are least chances of fibrosis
