I've finished a nine-month treatment for TB. Is there a chance it might come back? What steps can I take to prevent it from happening again? Would love your advice.

I'm trying to get a job in Dubai but during the medical exam, they said I was unfit because of bronchi vascular markings in my chest x-rays. I've been on medication for about three weeks but haven't seen any improvement. I did another x-ray and it's still the same. Can you give me advice on what I should do? I really need to clear the medical exam.

I'm dealing with a cough that's just not going away after celebrating Holi. It's been a while now and I'm getting worried. Is there something I should be doing differently or could there be an underlying issue that's causing this?

It sounds like the dust and colors from Holi may have irritated your airways, leading to a persistent cough. I recommend seeing a doctor to rule out any underlying infection or allergies and to get appropriate treatment, as this kind of cough can sometimes last longer if not addressed properly.

I'm really concerned about this persistent cough that's been going on for quite a while now. The cough medicine doesn't seem to be helping at all. There are no other signs of a cold or anything, but she keeps coughing, especially during meals, while cooking, and at night. It's a bit confusing, and her eyes get watery, and there's itchiness in her throat when she coughs. Why might this be happening?

Probable diagnosis is upper respiratory tract infection.Patient is advised tab augmentin duo 625mg thrice daily, for 5 days, tab pan d,orally once daily for 14 days ,syrup sucralfate 10ml thrice daily for 14 days.Also avoid spicy and hot items is advised to the patient.
