Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As you have a history of frequent chest infections in the past, which were associated with wheezing, secretions, and fever as well, I would suggest that you consult a pulmonologist or a chest physician in person. Your symptom of chest pain, which increases on deep respiration, seems like a pleuritic pain or a neuropathic pain. So, possibilities have to be ruled out. If your physician suggests an HRCT thorax (high-resolution computed tomography), then it can rule out other abnormalities as well if the x-ray does not reveal much.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As per your symptoms, you are suffering from bronchial asthma with allergic rhinitis, but you need to confirm this by doing a spirometry with a reversibility test. Asthma is a disease related to hypersensitivity of our respiratory system to some allergens, which causes triggering and inflammation in the respiratory mucosa. Undoubtedly, you need to take medications; otherwise, symptoms will get worse as you age. So visit a chest physician.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Tuberculosis of the pleura is a common entity. In your case, it seems diagnosis must have been confirmed by thoracocentesis or a pleural tap and that fluid must have been sent for investigations. I would like to see those reports also. Pleural effusion needs to be drained early in the course of the disease if large else can cause pleural fibrosis.
