I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe for my wife to take Asthakind DX syrup now that she's 27 weeks pregnant. Her pulmonologist included it with some other medications. Should we be concerned about any potential effects on the baby?

Question

I'm really concerned about my health after having TB about a year ago. There was water collected around my lungs which was drained during treatment, around 2500 ml in total. My treatment started on May 31, 2016, and ended on April 10, 2017. Now I've noticed that there's a thin and dry layer around my left lung. My doctor said the treatment is complete, but I'm worried about this layer. Can you please advise me on what I should do next?

Question

I've been dealing with a blocked nose that suddenly turned runny, but what's really worrying me is this constant need to yawn or take deep breaths. This started just yesterday. I'm 19 years old and weigh 95 kgs. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? What could be causing this breathing issue?

Question
