I'm experiencing some breathing difficulties that started last night and seem to come back every two hours. It's getting worse and now I'm not able to breathe comfortably at all. Could you please help me understand what's happening and what I should do?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He had COVID recently and now the doctor mentioned that he has some kind of fistula in his left lung. I'm not sure what this means for his recovery or his health in general. Could you explain what a fistula in the lung is and how serious it might be? Is it something that happens because of COVID infections, and what kind of treatment should he expect?

Question

I'm pretty worried right now; I've been a smoker for the past 10 years but quit just last month. Since then, I've had a nosebleed once, but it stopped. However, about three weeks ago, I started experiencing heaviness and some gastric feelings in my heart, along with heart palpitations. The thing that's really freaking me out is seeing blood in my sputum in the mornings when I clean my throat. At first, it was like actual blood drops, but now it's just tiny, hair-like streaks. I'm also frequently getting that blood taste in my throat, and I've been burping a lot after eating or drinking. Lately, there are some black strains in my spit. I went through some tests like a chest X-ray, sputum AFB for TB, ECG, echo, and troponin test, and they were all normal. The arterial blood gases test and CBC, ESR, and ECG reports are attached. What could be going on with me?

Question

I've got asthma and just bought a new tablet called Monticope Montelukast with levocetirizine dihydrochloride, but I've been using Levozing Lm Montelukast with levocetirizine hydrochloride for a while now. I'm a bit confused about the difference between dihydrochloride and hydrochloride. Does it make a difference, and is it safe to switch to this new tablet?
