Question 1

I've been having some chest pain recently, like a sharp sting right in the center and to the sides. Finished my TB treatment about a year ago, and it's been 9 months since that. Did some tests like sputum, CBNAT, and X-rays; all came back clear. But for the past couple of months, I've had this mucus issue. No coughing really, but if I try to irritate it, some white mucus comes out. Do you think it's possible for TB to be coming back, or could it be something else?

Accepted Answer

its better you test for tuberculosis sputum test once again

Question 2

I'm having a bit of a tough time with my breathing lately and it's causing me to feel really concerned. I've been experiencing a tight feeling, almost like I'm suffocating, and it's hard to breathe normally. To make matters worse, I've been getting bad headaches around five times a week, and at night, I get these chest pains that make my breathing even more difficult. I just don't know what's going on, and it's really starting to worry me. Could you help me figure out what might be causing these issues and what I should do about it?

Question 3

I'm a 20-year-old female dealing with active pulmonary tuberculosis, and I've been on treatment for about 1.5 months now. The doctor said my x-ray shows that 70% of my lung is damaged, and there are large cavities. I'm having severe white-colored cough that just won't quit, and I'm exhausted all the timeI can't even stand without feeling the need to sit down. Any exercise or even short walks wipe me out completely. Given that I've been on medication for a while now, shouldn't the severe cough have improved by now? Is there any chance my lungs can heal and return to their previous state without cavities? And this tirednesscould it be a side effect of the anti-tuberculosis medicine I'm on?

Accepted Answer

My mom was admitted to Apollo Hospital on May 27th, 2017, with pneumonia. She's had a heart surgery back in 2009. Right now, she's being treated for pneumonia and is in the MICU with a ventilator. I'm really worried and just want to know how long it might take for her to recover from pneumonia.
