I am on XDR Tuberculosis treatment since 22 August 2017 with below medicine Bedaquiline + linezolid + Moxifloxacin + Cyclosyrin + clofazimine I am feeling shortness of breath since last 1 month. Doctor told me that you will feel shortness of breath because my left lung is destroyed. And I am coughing badly since last two month with thick mucus because of that I am unable to sleep. My sputum reports are negative till culture for sputum is negative. Please can you tell me something to stop mucus production.

As your one lung is destroyed, which can cause both shortness of breath and sputum production. Try to rule out secondry infection by sputum culture for pyogenic organism and improve environmental pollution.
