Question

I'm dealing with some pretty nasty seasonal bronchitis it's like I can't catch my breath, my chest feels heavy, and there's this annoying wheezing sound. They did an asthma test and said I don't have it, but the doctor gave me doxycycline 400mg and montelukast. Thing is, it's not really helping. What else can I try?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I've had a cough for the past 23 days. I do a lot of data entry work on my computer and sometimes scratch cards too, so I'm concerned that maybe I've inhaled some silver dust. I've seen some dust on my clothes, bed, and even my rajai. Could this be causing my cough? What should I do about it?

Question

I've been feeling a bit of breath shortness after breakfast and while climbing stairs, and my breathing isn't as smooth as it used to be. I had a history of smoking for 9 years, then switched to vaping e-cigarettes for 2 years. I've quit all nicotine and smoking products for the past two weeks. Could you tell me what tests I should consider to understand the impact of my past smoking and vaping on my health?

Question

I'm really worried about my mother-in-law. She's got this lung problem with encysted empyema in her left lung and a 1.5cm encavitation in her right lung. We've been getting her treated at a private hospital, but she's not making a full recovery. What should we do next? Is there something else we should be looking into? Really hoping for some guidance here.
