Question

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past two months, and no matter how many times I see doctors or try different medicines, it just doesn't get better. For a while, I might feel some relief, but then things go back to how they were. It's really starting to worry and scare me. I've even had an X-ray and blood tests done, and both came back normal, but there's always a little mucus. I just can't figure out what's happening. Can you please offer some guidance and help me find a way to get better?

Question

Hey, so about two weeks ago I had a fever and then got hit with a cough and cold. Even some sputum was coming up. The fever's gone now and I'm feeling better, but the cough is still sticking around, though it's not as bad as last week. There's still some sputum, but not too much. But what's got me concerned is that when I cough, I hear like this bell sound coming from inside my lungs. Any ideas on what this could be or what I should do?

Question

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?

Question

I'm really worried about my brother. He's a regular smoker and has been having a morning cough, occasional breathing issues, and sometimes even chest pain. He recently got some test results back, and it seems like his hemoglobin is high, his PCV is at the upper limit, and his vitamin D is low. I'm not sure what these mean or what steps he should take next?
