I'm a bit worried about my recent CT report, and I could really use some guidance. It mentions that there's a collapse consolidation in my left lower lobe and some specks of calcification with fibronodular changes. They also found a few confluent nodules and scattered small nodules in both lung fields, plus ground glass opacity in my right lower lobe. The impression notes something about mediastinal lymphadenopathy and a mild pleural infusion on the left. Can someone explain what all these terms mean and what I should be concerned about? Is this indicative of a serious condition or something treatable?

Question

I'm having trouble breathing and feel like I'm half yawning a lot for the past three days. I had corona about a month ago but don't have any symptoms of it now. I'm just yawning continuously, even after sleeping for 12 hours. I'm really worried and can't figure out what's going on. Can anyone help guide me?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with ILD for the past 3 years and has to use an oxygen concentrator almost constantly. I've done a lot of reading about this disease, but I only find information on pulmonary rehabilitation and oxygen therapy. A friend recently mentioned trying homeopathic treatments and said there are medicines that could help in the long run. I'm curious to know if seeing a homeopathic doctor could be beneficial for my dad's condition. Could you provide some guidance on this?

Question

I've been smoking for about 3 years and decided to quit a few weeks ago, but I'm having these random pains in my chest and back where I used to feel inflammation when I smoked. Is this normal after quitting? Should I be worried about these pains, or is it just part of my body adjusting to not smoking anymore?
