Question

I'm a bit worried about what it means when they say there's a calcified lesion in the right hilum. Is it something serious? Should I be considering any tests or medication for this? Just trying to understand if I need to be concerned.

Question

I've been using Budamate 400 for my whooping cough for about six days now, but my doctor never mentioned anything about gargling after using it. Lately, I'm experiencing a dry mouth and my throat feels kind of suffocated. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this and what I should do about it?

Question

My wife is in her last week of the second trimester and she's been really under the weather with a bad cold and fever over the past couple of days. Initially, she was taking Calpol 650mg twice a day, Augmentin 625 three times a day, Asthakind DX syrup three times a day, and Teczine once a day. Thankfully, the fever's gone now, but the cold has gotten worse, and our physician thinks it might be pneumonia, so he sent us to a pulmonologist. Today, the pulmonologist prescribed Mox 500mg twice a day, Allegra M once a day, Calpol 500mg twice a day, and AB Phylline capsules twice a day. I'm really concerned and wondering if it's safe for her to take AB Phylline and Allegra M during pregnancy. Could you shed some light on this for us?

Question

I've been smoking heavily for the last 8 years and have recently developed some chest pain. I'm a bit worried and would appreciate any advice or suggestions on what I should do. Is this something serious related to smoking or could it be something else?
