So, I had this maid looking after my 1.5-year-old daughter for a few months, but she got sick once, even coughed up blood. I decided to let her go right after. This happened a couple of months back. I went ahead and got some tests done, like a sputum test for tuberculosis, which came back negative. But then she mentioned her dad passed away from TB 14 years ago. She's got a couple of sisters, a mom, and a brother in the family too. We did a digital x-ray and a helical CT chest scan, and those were normal. I'm just wondering, given her symptoms and her family history, is there still a possibility she might have active tuberculosis?

since her sputum test is negative there are least chances she has tuberculosis

View allI recently tested positive and went through home quarantine, and I'm fully recovered now. I'm feeling normal overall, but I've noticed something a bit strange. Sometimes I see black particles in my phlegm, not entirely black, just some black bits mixed in. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it not a big deal?

Ive been dealing with a really bad cough for the last three months and it's starting to worry me. I just got a chest x-ray and Im trying to understand what it means. Can you explain what "BL prominent vascular markings noted" means in simple terms? I'm really curious if this is something I should be concerned about.

I've been dealing with this persistent cough and phlegm situation for about 8 days now. I went to see a doctor, and they prescribed me Brozedex syrup, Cefolac AZ tablets, Crocin for pain relief, and Budusal nebulizer at .10mg, but I'm still not feeling any improvement with the phlegm. Should I be worried, or is there something else I could try?
To address your concerns: *Vaginal Discharge and Abdominal Hair* - Vaginal discharge can be normal, but if accompanied by itching, burning, or a strong odor, it may indicate a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. - The black line of hair on your abdomen (linea nigra) can be caused by hormonal fluctuations, which may be related to pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other hormonal imbalances. *Lip Kissing and Pregnancy* - Lip kissing does not cause pregnancy. Pregnancy occurs when a sperm fertilizes an egg, typically through vaginal intercourse. *Recommended Actions* 1. Schedule a gynecological exam to assess the vaginal discharge and abdominal hair growth. 2. Practice safe sex to prevent unintended pregnancy and STIs. 3. Consider taking a pregnancy test if you suspect you might be pregnant.
