Does the xray show any TB signs?

I have been coughing a lot last month, now it has reduced by 98%. But i had phlegm in throat and constant need to clear if not coughing. So i went to local pulmo doc, he gave pulmoclewr for a week, difiza or some inhaler fr a mnth, cefpodem xp, and cough syrup. My symptoms are 98% not there, just sometimes after exercise i get slight cough or phlegm.. I did a sputum culture and sputum afb, culture showed high growth of K. Pneumonia while afb was negative. I went to the doctor, he said continue with the medicine and also do the ct thorax and insisted on CB NaAT... I couldn't ask him but just for a clarity, does this xray show any sign of TB? I don't have fever, or cough like tb, or any night sweat. Just post nasal drip and some very little phlegm, once in a while(rarely). Please tell me why is he asking for cb naat, m scared :(

Alternative medicines?

I have been prescribed: Pulmoclear BD for 30 days. Montek LC OD, Cefpodem XP BD 5 days and pan 40od. Is there any alternative for Pulmoclear? I csnnot sleep when i take this medicine. It makes me hyperactive at night while sleeping.. are there any medicines that target the lungs directly instead of having a systemic effect? Please guide me. I am being treated for probable bronchiectasis/bronchitis based on this xray and symptoms by a pulmonologist... And isn't 30 days of pulmo clear too much? Please see the xray thanks. I had mentioned him that i get a lot of phlegm and throat clearance, maybe I overdid that part, it was like throat clearing many times a day and not enough coughing. Can i reduce it to 5 days? Pls guide.
