Why haven't my cough and thick sputum gone away even after 10 years since taking CAT1? Now I've been diagnosed with MDR, and although I don't have major issues apart from the constant coughing, it's really persistent, especially in the morning. I also get tired easily throughout the day. Could this lingering cough be related to MDR, and is it normal to feel this tired all the time? Should I be worried about missing chest pains or aches? What can I do to manage this better?

I'm really concerned about my mom's recent x-ray report. It shows that both of her hila are congested. She had breast cancer about five years ago and went through surgery and chemotherapy, but has been doing well since then. Now with this new x-ray showing congestion and her having some breathing problems, I'm pretty worried. Can you help me understand what this might mean?
