I've just finished my tuberculosis treatment earlier this April after nine months on medication, but then I caught COVID at the end of the month. Since then, I haven't had any COVID symptoms, and an HRCT showed no lung infections. However, I'm struggling with a persistent dry cough and an itchy throat. There's also white mucus that shows up every morning but only a little bit. I've tried Alex syrup and some home remedies like ginger and honey, but nothing seems to be working. What could be causing this ongoing cough, and should I be worried?

I'm really worried about my brother who was diagnosed with MDR TB. He went through three months of injections and took a lot of medicines for almost a year, but sometimes he still has a cough. It's not all day, but it happens occasionally. How can we check his current condition? What tests would show if the TB is completely gone? Would a chest X-ray help? He's not on meds anymore, so Im wondering if MDR TB is something that stays for life or if it can be fully treated. How long does the treatment usually last? Is it possible for him to be completely cured? I'm not sure what steps we should take next.
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

My dad's been in the hospital for a month because of covid, and 20 of those days were in the ICU with ventilator NIV support. After he got diagnosed with covid-19, he's also dealing with pulmonary fibrosis. The CT scan says it's a follow-up case of covid-19 pneumonia with severe changes, and mentions things like ground glass attenuation, septal thickening, traction bronchiectasis, and bronchiolectasis in his lungs. There's also some emphysematous changes in his right upper lobe and mild elevation of the right diaphragm dome. The liver and spleen look normal, but there's a small cyst in his liver's left lobe. I'm really worried is this something that can get better?
