My mom had some fluid taken out from her lungs and the lab tests said it's not TB. But she still has this fever in the evenings, sweats a lot at night, can't really catch her breath well, and her heart's racing. Could these be signs of pneumonia or maybe even TB?

I'm really worried about my recent x-ray report. It says there's a mild increase in peri hilar bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm not sure how serious this might be. Can you help me understand what's going on?

The condition could be Bronchitis or Bronchiolitis which could be non specific,no need to worry,visit Physician for appropriate management

I'm dealing with a constant sore throat and sometimes it even hurts when I breathe. It's weird because I feel really irritated by dust. Lately, I've been getting tired easily when I exercise or even just walk. I'm 26 and there's no asthma history in my family. I had a PFT test done and it showed mild restriction and low vital capacity. What could this mean, and what might be causing it?

Do breathing exercises, drink warm water , inhale steam 5 times a day , avoid allergens
