Question

I'm a bit worried about my 14-year-old son. His recent CT scan mentioned something about small subsegmental atelectasis in the anterior segment of his right upper lobe. Is this something minor or more serious? Does he need any medication for it? Also, the scan said that the tracheobronchial tree is normal, and there are no signs of Covid pneumonia with a CORADS score of 1. The CT severity score is 0 too. What do you think, should I be concerned?

I've been really worried about my dad's heavy cough. It's been going on for a while, and whoever sleeps in the same room as him can't get a good night's sleep.

Despite trying everything, including rotahealermedicines, nothing seems to work. Could you please suggest what might be wrong or recommend something that could finally help with his cough?
