I've had this persistent cough for a few weeks now and my GP sent me for a chest x-ray. It's been over two weeks since the x-ray on Tuesday, but I haven't heard any results yet. I'm really anxious and wondering if this delay is normal. Should I be worried about this?

I'm dealing with a really stubborn cough, and it's been going on for a while now. I have asthma, high blood sugar, and pressure, and I'm taking nexophylin, pantoprazolemontair FX, and euglimM2 for everything. Do you have any suggestions for a medicine or something that might help get rid of this cough? It's just not going away. Would really appreciate your advice!

take syrup ascoril twice a day

I'm a bit confused about my mom's diagnosis. Her CT scan showed something like patchy airspace acinarization and some nodular radio opacities, and she has prominent bronchovascular markings. The doctor said she's got tuberculosis and put her on this Rizorine kit. But what's really bugging me is the doctor mentioned it's not contagious. Is it common for TB to be non-contagious, or could there be some misunderstanding here?

Yes it is not contagious,as we all are vaccinated for it,but if you are weak it might infect you,be safe and follow hygiene practices

My dad has been coughing for the past two months, and we've done all sorts of tests including one for TB, but everything came back negative. His CT scan showed he has a parenchymal cyst in the right lower lobe. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. I've already suggested he uses a Rotacap twice a day, but is there something else we should be considering? What steps should we take moving forward?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
