Lungs pain
My Father who is 69 years old is suffering from lungs pain for three years. His weight is same for three years, and his physical ability is also same for three years. This happens once a week. Doctors couldn't find the reason. We are sure it's not TB. Whenever we visit a government hospital and say lungs pain, they refer to TB ward. As TB is contagious, we avoid visiting TB ward.
