Occasional cough
My husband was a tuberculosis patient. He took 9 months of medicine. After ct guided biopsy it was determined he has mediastinal lymph node tb.In last CECT it shows lymph node had reduced. But sometimes he faces occasional cough so doctor did this PFT test. My husband's recent problem is after every 2 to 3 hours he feels some tickling sensation or some kind of sensation in throat cough. He also like every day have runny nose sneezing. But I'm thinking about this occasional cough.Why this is happening doctor please help? Pft test shows he has narrow airways. Is this the reason? Or this PFT test report is just his poor efforts?
