Question

I'm feeling really concerned because I've had chest congestion for almost two months now. Whenever I take a deep breath, there's this tightness in my airway, and it almost always triggers a cough. Most of the time, it's a dry cough, but sometimes there's some phlegm too. I haven't tried any medication yet, just some natural remedies. This seems to happen once a year for the past few years. Should I be worried, or is there something specific I should be doing?

Question

Im really worried about my dad. He was just diagnosed with ILD Fibrotic NSIP and he's been dealing with a dry cough for two years and shortness of breath for the past six months. He's been prescribed Perfinex 200, Iverped, and Atarax. His oximeter shows oxygen levels between 96-98%. Could you give me an idea of what his life expectancy might be with this condition? Is there a chance that his symptoms wont get worse?

Question

I've recently had a blood test, and it shows my eosinophil counts are higher than normal. I've also been having some breathing issues while I'm asleep, with a wheezing sound whenever I breathe in or out. Can you suggest what steps I should take next? Is there anything I can adjust in my diet to help bring my eosinophil counts back to normal levels?
