I've had some cold symptoms like fever, sweats, chills, and a cough. Most of them have gone away, but my cough and chest pain are still there. The chest pain is only on one side and it feels like a burning sensation. Should I be worried about this?

View allI'm dealing with mediastinal lymph node TB and I was wondering about my situation. I've been through CECT and EBUS, and the size was initially 7cm x 3cm. I used to have a fever, but thankfully that's gone now. However, I'm still coughing quite a bitaround 15 to 20 times a day. I've been on treatment for three and a half months, and my doctor told me it would be an eight-month-long process. Is this typical? I'm currently abroad, so I'm trying to figure out when to repeat the CECT. We've already done it twice since we had to travel, but the size hadn't reduced two months ago. Can you give me some guidance on this?
repeat cect after 6 months

Whats the best way to measure SpO2 for someone with COVID? I'm getting different readings on the oximeter. Sometimes it's 95 or 96, but then a minute later it can be 98. When I wake up, it drops to 95 or 97, but if I'm sitting properly, it goes up to 98 or 99. I'm really confused about how to accurately measure SpO2. I also tried doing a 6-minute walk test and within 10 seconds I saw readings from 95 up to 98. Is this normal?
all values are normal , don't overthink

I've recently quit smoking and I'm really concerned about how to naturally cleanse my lungs from all that tar buildup. Also, I'm curious about which vitamins and minerals are best for keeping my lungs healthy now. Can you offer any advice?
To naturally remove tar from lungs after quitting smoking, try steam inhalation, drink plenty of water, eat antioxidant-rich foods like leafy greens, berries, and other fruits, and consider supplements like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Omega-3 fatty acids; also, incorporate lung-friendly minerals like Magnesium, Potassium, and Selenium into your diet, and practice yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to promote healthy lung function.
