Question

I've been dealing with this constant cough and breathing issues for a few days now, even though I'm on a daily dose of Symbicort for my bronchitis asthma. I'm starting to get really worried because I'm not sure what else I can do. Can you recommend a good pulmonologist I could see, or suggest any other steps I might take to help manage this? It's been pretty stressful not knowing how to handle it.

Is there a specific age when it's not safe to have an HRCT chest scan? I'm really curious because I read somewhere that certain age groups might face risks. Could you shed some light on this?
