I've had an x-ray done today, and it shows that my diaphragm is a bit elevated. I dont have a cough, but I'm feeling some chest pain on the right side when I take a deep breath. I'm a bit worried and am wondering what could be causing this. I don't smoke and I've never had asthma. Do you think this pain will go away on its own? What other issues could this possibly be?

I'm really worried about my tuberculosis treatment. It's been 3 months now and I've done the Gene Xpert test twice, which thankfully showed no MDR TB, just pulmonary tuberculosis. They've said no AFB is seen, but my fever still isn't stopping. I've been given amikacin and Ciso DS injections for 5 days, and I've already completed 4 days, but the fever is still there. Any idea how long it might take for the fever to go down?

continue the tuberculosis treatment for 3 more months

I've had pulmonary bronchitis in the past and got treated for it recently. It's been about two weeks since I also caught COVID, and while mostly everything's fine, I've noticed that some foods are making my phlegm worse. I'm wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or if I need to check in with a doctor. What do you think?

no ned , take tablet mucinac for 5 days

I'm really confused about my situation. All my tests like X-ray, PFT, and ECG came back normal, and my oxygen levels are at 99%, but I'm still having trouble breathing and feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen. It's really worrying. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

it might be due to anxiety issues
