Chest & Breathing Problems

Low Platelet Issue last 1 year and Cough with dark blood morning time.Chronic cough and cold issue.what steps I have to take now?

I have been under ATT since March 16th to be specific. I was enrolled under the DOTS program, however recently I was made aware of the fact that the government has stopped the programme . I have been suggested to purchase the medicines for ATT from a private vendor. Is it safe? I have been taking the Akurit 3 tablets and was feeling better. Will the change in medicines from a government organisation to private cause problems??

After having Covid pneumonia in my 67 year old mother.. We did 2 CT scans that year and none said lung nodule, it just said post Covid fibrosis.. But after a Full Year gap, when we did another CT, Lung nodules were found largest measuring 9mm.. Also report read, Soft tissue attenuation lesion in RUL as described. Neoplastic etiology merits consideration.. Why did this happen? What caused it? Did the fibrosis cause it?  Please Please reply I'm just asking the reason, not treatment

After having sever Covid with pneumonia my mother had a HRCT showing ground glass opacity.. Nothing else.. Then we did a second HRCT which said scattered ground glass opacity and Koch's lesion..
