Question

I'm having this random shortness of breath every now and then during the day, but strangely, it doesn't happen while I'm sleeping. I first felt this back in December 2019, and it just stopped on its own then. But it's popping up again over the last few days, and I'm a bit worried about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Question

My dad has been coughing for the past two months, and we've done all sorts of tests including one for TB, but everything came back negative. His CT scan showed he has a parenchymal cyst in the right lower lobe. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. I've already suggested he uses a Rotacap twice a day, but is there something else we should be considering? What steps should we take moving forward?

Question

I'm really worried about my husband's recent x-ray for his job. It's showing right hilar congestion, and although he's not coughing, he does have a cold. Do you think there's any medicine that could help, or maybe some advice on how to clear this up? He really needs the medical report to go abroad, and we're not sure what to do next.
