My mom's had these symptoms like fever, cough, cold, and just feeling off for about a week now. The first doctor's tests were kind of inconclusive about whether it was TB or not. So, they sent her to another hospital where they did a bunch of more thorough tests like CT scans and skin tests and said she doesn't have TB. She's feeling better overall, but I'm still worried because she's still coughing. She did have a cough before that usually gets worse in winter and she's quite sensitive to the cold. My family thinks her coughing now is normal, but I'm not so sure. What do you think? Would love your guidance on this!

I'm curious about something that's been bothering me. Every time I laugh really hard, I end up coughing a lot. Could this have any link to feeling short of breath when I'm exerting myself? It's starting to make me worried, and I just want to understand what's going on.

I'm 22 and whenever I walk up and down the stairs, I get quite breathless. Can you suggest what I can do to help improve my airflow? Also, what kind of tests should I consider to pinpoint the issue? I've heard about the ABD testwould that be relevant for these symptoms? Plus, even a short 5-minute dance leaves me out of breath. Any advice would be really helpful.
