I'm dealing with a blocked nose and a cough that I've had for a few days, but now I'm noticing some blood in my cough. Should I be concerned about this, and what type of doctor should I see?

It could be due to various reasons such as a respiratory infection, bronchitis, or even more serious conditions like pneumonia or tuberculosis. I recommend you to consult a Pulmonologist for further evaluation and management.

Question

I'm having a hard time with shortness of breath and keep getting these little burps that just won't stop, and it's like this for about 10 days every month. I'm really concerned and not sure what's going on. Could this be linked to my smoking habit or maybe something to do with Thoraco Lumbar Kypho Scoliosis I've heard about? Any advice or insight would be great.

Question

I'm dealing with a breathing issue and I'm on medication for it regularly. I also have a persistent cough. My lower left lung collapsed when I had TB at the age of 6. Sometimes my cough gets infected and I end up needing more medicine. Can you give me any advice?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom, she's 63 and has had asthma for a long while. Lately, she's been having trouble with her breathing and she's also been getting headaches. We went to the hospital and got an X-ray, ECG, and COVID test done, and thankfully, everything came back normal. But I'm still concerned and thinking of keeping her on oxygen at home for a bit because I'm afraid of the risks at the hospital. Can you tell me how to get an oxygen cylinder for home use and what precautions I should take?
