Question

I'm 65 years old and just got my X-ray results back. Everything looked normal, but it mentioned that both hila are congested. What's that mean? Should I be concerned? I don't have any breathing problems, just a rib fracture on my 7th rib.

Question

My relative has been experiencing severe back pain for the past three days and the doctor suggested an HRCT scan to check for Covid-19. The results showed a few parenchymal fibrotic bands, but everything else looks normal. I'm quite concerned about what this could mean. Could you give us some advice on what steps we should take next, or if theres anything specific we should be cautious about?

Question

My son has been suffering from fever and a persistent cough for the last year. I've consulted many hospitals, but there's been no improvement in his health. The fever returns every ten days, and the cough is a constant issue. What could be causing this, and what should we do?

Question

I've been dealing with a pretty bad indigestion issue. So, on June 1st, 2020, I just up and quit smoking. I was smoking about 45 cigarettes a day for the past 10 years, but I started cutting down in 2018 and finally stopped after two years. The first few months, I had headaches and an upset stomach, but recently I've had a bit of trouble breathing. When I do things like running or cardio workouts, I feel okay, but if I miss a day, I notice some shortness of breath and my throat feels tight. This has been going on for a month, and I've been feeling kinda weak, too. Is this normal, or could it be something else? I don't have any other symptoms.
