Chest & Breathing Problems
Blood seen phlegm
Hi, I have been diagnosed with TB last year and have been recovered after 6months of medication (in Jan). Sometimes I do see small drops of blood in my sputum in the morning. Is this an unusual or alarming state? Should I be concerned? Amount of blood seen is very little though. With weather change or dust, I do get little cough for sometimes and gets
better later. My weight has been 57 for a long time now (2months). No change or slight increase noticed. Temperature has been normal. My chest pain has got far better but not 100% back to normal. My doc says it will take time to heal.
Please advice.

Scared about contracting TB
I went to a government facility to give CB naat sputum sample.
I was wearing a spec as well as a N95 Mask with additionally a pollution filter inside. So in the pic, the old man was wearing a local made mask and sneezed like typical Indian uncles aaahuu type facing towards right side.
However, after filling the form with the registrar i had to go out of the room via that door, and i went along the path where he sneezed, however my mask was worn properly, i discarded the clothes, mask and took a proper shower with proper face wash and hand wash.
I know i am over thinking but the risk of contracting tb(let's say i am negative), is low right?
Sorry again, i am a hypochondriac so i think a lot about these things.

Feeling choked while Coughing
My father has a choking/suffocating feeling while coughing. This is happening daily. A few days ago he had cold and cough for which the doctor had prescribed antibiotics and the symptoms resolved in two weeks. Please suggest what to do to relieve this choking. No other symptoms as such but he is getting tired after walking with heavy breathing.
