Question

I'm a bit worried as I recently got a PFT report back, and it mentioned something about Small Airway Obstruction. I've also been dealing with this chronic cough for a while now. Should I be concerned about this? Are there any other tests I should consider doing to get a clearer picture of what's going on?

What causes difficulty in breathing?

Question

I've been taking medication for a month which helped reduce my cough and lower my eosinophil count. But a few days ago, I accidentally drank a glass of cold water, and now my cough is back really badly. My eosinophil count has increased to 498. I'm worried and just wondering what I can do to get back on track and feel better. Any advice on how to manage this?

Question

My dad got the second dose of Covishield and now he's having some symptoms like fever, body aches, and a mild cough. It's been 11 days, and even though he isolated himself and started taking Azithromycin and Ivermectin, he's still feeling pretty sick. His HRCT chest scan shows ground glass opacities and some consolidation, mostly in the basal and subpleural areas, with a severity score of 1125. His oxygen levels are around 94-97. I'm really worried, and Im not sure what to do next. What should our course of action be?
