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?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's been getting a fever in the evenings for the last 20 to 25 days. It goes up to 101.5 and then seems to come down by morning. Some nights he doesn't have a fever at all and he's just normal. We got an X-ray and it mentioned there's some opacity on the left side. Could you help me understand what might be going on or what this could mean?
it looks like tuberculosis, proceed to test the same

I'm really confused about my test results for TB. On December 27th, I got a sputum test, and it was positive. But then the next day, I did another sputum test, and that came back negative. The Truenat test on the 29th and the CBNAAT on the 30th were also negative. My chest X-ray is normal according to my local doctor, and some symptoms like weakness have gotten better, though I still have a mild chest pain. My blood report was normal except for ESR being 26, lymphocytes at 43, and cholesterol at 216. With my initial test being positive and all the following ones negative, I'm really unsure whether I have TB or not and whether I should start taking any medication. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm dealing with a really stubborn cough, and it's been going on for a while now. I have asthma, high blood sugar, and pressure, and I'm taking nexophylin, pantoprazolemontair FX, and euglimM2 for everything. Do you have any suggestions for a medicine or something that might help get rid of this cough? It's just not going away. Would really appreciate your advice!
