I've just got my lung x-ray results back and it mentioned mild patchy consolidations in my bilateral lung fields. This definitely sounds concerning, doesn't it? I'm really curious to know what it all means. Do these findings indicate something serious? Should I be worried about this and what steps should I take next? Looking forward to your guidance.

View allI'm a bit anxious after having been on AKT3 for 4 months since May 8, 2017. I'm really hoping to hear that this treatment has worked and the TB is gone for good. How will I know if my body is free from TB now? Are there any specific signs or tests that can confirm it's completely eliminated?
Possible Diagnosis* 1. *Epididymitis*: Inflammation of the epididymis, a tube behind the testicle that stores sperm. Masturbation can cause minor trauma, leading to inflammation. 2. *Testicular strain*: Overstretching or minor injury to the testicular tissues, possibly due to masturbation or tight clothing. *Treatment Advice* 1. *Rest and relaxation*: Avoid strenuous activities, tight clothing, and prolonged sitting. 2. *Cold compress*: Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce pain and inflammation. 3. *Pain relief*: Take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) as directed. 4. *Elevate the scrotum*: When sitting or lying down, elevate the scrotum to reduce swelling and discomfort. 5. *Practice good hygiene*: Keep the genital area clean and dry to prevent infection. 6. *Avoid masturbation*: Refrain from masturbation for a few weeks to allow the affected area to heal. *When to Seek Medical Attention* 1. *Severe pain*: If the pain becomes unbearable or is accompanied by vomiting, fever, or chills. 2. *Swelling or redness*: If the scrotum becomes severely swollen, red, or warm to the touch. 3. *Discharge or bleeding*: If you notice unusual discharge or bleeding from the penis or scrotum. 4. *Fever*: If you experience a fever over 101.5F (38.6C).

Is there any chance I can get around the visa denial issue due to the old TB marks on my X-ray? It's frustrating because I had TB six years ago, I've been completely fit since then. I really don't know how to get a clear X-ray now. Is there anything I can do about this?

I'm kind of worried because I've been coughing up these black particles in my phlegm every day, and it's pretty thick, especially in the morning. The color is usually grey and it looks a bit like clots. I'm not a smoker and never have been, plus I wear a mask all the time. I haven't had any breathing issues, fever, or weight loss, though I've been dealing with this for about two months now. I tried taking antibiotics but they didnt really make a difference. I'm only on thyroid medication at the moment. Any thoughts on what could be going on or what I should do next?
take syrup ascoril and get your sputum tested
