Question 1

I've been having some issues with mucous and chest congestion lately. There's this white, jelly-like, and sometimes fibrous mucous coming from my lungs, and my chest gets tight around the left lower rib or in the center. Coughing it up usually helps with the tightness, but it's becoming concerning. Also, I wake up with bad breath and some upper back pain below my shoulders. I don't have a fever or breathing problems, but I'm dealing with acidity, heartburn, and flatulence. I'm wondering if these symptoms are connected and what I should do about them? Any advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms suggest chronic bronchitis or a lingering respiratory infection, with the white jelly-like or fibrous mucus indicating a possible fungal or bacterial overgrowth; meanwhile, the acidity, heartburn, and flatulence may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), so consider consulting  md medicine

Question 3

I'm really worried about my grandfather. He was diagnosed with TB about seven months ago and took medication for six months which ended on December 16, 2022. It's been about a month since then, but for the past ten days, he's been coughing excessively again. Last time when he was on the ATT drug, he felt uncomfortable and his SGPT and SGOT levels were really high. We got some tests done and, thankfully, his LFT and CBC reports are normal now. But the sputum test came back positive again. Our doctor has currently prescribed Amoxicillin 625 mg, Montelukast 10 mg, and a cough syrup. I'm trying to figure out if he should go back on the TB medicine or if there's something else we should consider. Could you give me some advice on what the next steps might be?
