Question

I'm dealing with wheezing and got this dust allergy thing going on too. My PFT results came back saying there's some restrictive airways action happening. I'm using Maxiflo 250mg rotocaps inhalers, but I still get a bit of wheezing sometimes. Does that sound like I need to switch up my meds, or is this normal?

Question

I'm really worried as my friend tested COVID positive just four days ago. They're fully vaccinated and don't have any major symptoms, and their oxygen level is between 98-99 with a pulse rate of 80. I'm not sure if the chest X-ray is showing anything alarming. Could you help me understand if everything looks alright, or if there's anything serious we should be concerned about? How can they get better?

Question

I'm a bit confused and worried about my health situation. I had a lump on the right side of my neck and got an FNAC done, which pointed to tuberculosis. I went ahead with a Mantoux test, and it came back with a really large red induration, like 29mm. My chest X-ray shows bilateral hilar prominence, and my ESR is raised too. But here's the thing, I don't have any symptoms - no weakness, no cough, nothing at all. What's going on? Should I be concerned even without symptoms?

Question

I've had TB and then caught COVID, and now I'm having chest pain and trouble breathing again. I'm wondering if I should get an HRCT or an MRI of my chest to check my lungs. I've had a few HRCTs before, but they have radiation, which worries me. Can you tell me which option might be better?
