Question

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for about a week now, and it seems to get worse at night. I've tried using cough syrup, but it hasn't helped. What else can I do to get some relief?

Question

I'm dealing with a really bad cough and wheezing, and even though I'm using an inhaler, it's just not helping. What should I do now?

Question

I'm dealing with chest congestion that's been around for quite a while now. I've got this annoying cough and it feels like something's just lodged in my throat. Any ideas on how I can get rid of it?

Question

I recently got my chest x-ray report and it mentions some unclear haziness in the left cardiophrenic angle region and a prominent epicardiac fat pad, along with patchy infiltration. The rest of the lung fields look clear, and the cardio thoracic ratio is normal. But it also mentions that both hila are prominent and my bony thorax shows no significant abnormality. The domes of my diaphragm are well outlined. Theyve advised clinical correlation and I'm not entirely sure what all this means. Should I be worried about these findings, especially the haziness and the prominent hila? What steps should I take next?
