Chronic cough and breathlessness.

She is suffering from quick bouts of breathlessness with walking. Cough and chest congestion has aggravated over three years. We can also hear sounds from her chest when her breathing is forced. In a routine check up for watery eyes, eye specialist advised range of tests (attached) to rule out Sarcoidosis. Chest x-ray, HRCT chest and Angiotensin converting enzyme and Extranuclear antibodies test show some aberrations. Is this a condition that needs immediate attention and medication?

Water intake for ATT medication

I want to check how much water should I take along with medicines(4FDC) in the morning? I take 1 glass of luke warm water when I wake up in the morning. And then after 10 mins, I take my medicines with another glass of water. Does more water reduce the efficiency of the ATT medicines?

Treatment for Tuberculosis

I want to know in general what does an ATT look like. For instance, if the doctor says the treatment will last for 6 months, what all different activities will happen during these 6 months? Like, my friend on ATT for about 1 month now has gone through a blood test after first 15 days of dosage and then has been asked to consult after 8 weeks of dosage.
