I've just got my health check-up done, and while most things are in the normal range, my eosinophils count is a bit high at 11.6. I've started taking banocide tablets for the past couple of days. Lately, I've begun feeling a little uneasy when I breathe. I did an ECG and chest X-ray, and those came back normal. Do you think the banocide will help with the breathing issue, or should I be looking into other medication?

I'm really worried because my recent CT scan and X-ray showed I have bronchiectasis in my right upper lung. There's also something about my lower bowel that's concerning. Could this be why I've been having breathing issues or stomach discomfort? What could these findings mean for my health and are there any specific treatments you would recommend?

kindly take medications for broncheictasis

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
