Monitor lungs condition

2023-05-05 03:17:44
My husband has mediastinal lymph node tb. He took 9 months of treatment. After treatment took CECT it showed lymph node decreased . Now he is fine, going office everyday. only one problem is he coughs occasionally. He is a non smoker non alcoholic. My question is he had his last CECT scan 3 months ago on 31st January which was fine. To monitor his lungs how often should we have his xray of chest to see if everything is alright or not? When should I repeat his chest examination again? please answer me doctor 🙏

No need to repeat frequently. If he is has symptoms of fever / cough of longer duration, loss of appetite or weight loss then consult a Pulmonologist.
