Is there any chance I can get around the visa denial issue due to the old TB marks on my X-ray? It's frustrating because I had TB six years ago, I've been completely fit since then. I really don't know how to get a clear X-ray now. Is there anything I can do about this?

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with constant colds, coughs, and I've just been feeling so weak and tired all the time. Sometimes I have trouble breathing, and I've noticed that I get chest pain regularly. Traveling seems to make things worse as I often get sick after. Even a bit of physical work leaves me exhausted. A doctor mentioned that 20% of my lungs aren't working properly. I'm trying to figure out if there's any effective treatment for allergic asthma and if there's any way my lungs can fully recover. Could you provide some guidance or suggestions on what I might do? I'm really hoping to hear something reassuring.

I've been on tuberculosis treatment for almost 5 months now and haven't had any symptoms for over 4 months. I'm doing these LFT tests every couple of weeks like my doctor suggested, and they've always come back normal. My main concern is about the mediastinal lymph node TB I have. How long do you think Ill need to continue the medication and how does the doctor decide when to stop the treatment? Also, my doctor mentioned having a small bottle of light beer once a week is okay, but I just wanted to double-check if that's really alright.
Patient is advised ATT for another 1 month ,Also alcohol cessation is advised to the patient.
