Question

I'm coughing a lot and my chest feels like it's aching when I do. Should I be worried about this? Is it something serious, or maybe just a normal cold? What do you think could be causing this, and is there anything I should be doing to feel better?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because I had a cough and cold for a few days, and then I got a fever, which hit a really high of around 103.5. I took Azithromycin 500 for five days, and thankfully, the fever is gone now. But on the last day of taking the antibiotics, I ended up coughing up blood twice, though it was just a couple of spots and it stopped the next day. Its been two days now, and I havent had any more bleeding. Ive attached some pictures that show the bloody phlegm, but now I'm not coughing any blood. The blood I saw was mixed with mucus. I also had a chest X-ray, and it showed mildly prominent bronchovascular markings and a horizontal fissure. Do you think I need a CT scan, or is this something normal that happens? I'm really worried about this.

Question

I'm really struggling with shortness of breath and breathing problems whenever the weather changes. It can get really bad, and I end up needing to use rotacap, foracort, levolin, and sometimes deriphyllin. On top of that, I'm also taking medications like fluconazole 200 and Allegra, plus Thyronorm 50 and Tryptomer 25 mg. I had my gall bladder removed two years ago. Can you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what I should do?

Question

I've been dealing with allergy-related cough for the past five years and nothing seems to help. Lately, for the last ten days or so, I've been having trouble breathing as well. I'm really worried about it. What could be causing this and what should I do next?
