Question

I've had this cough for about 20 days now. Went to the doctor last week and got prescribed Pulmoclear and Telekast-F. But after taking them for just a couple of days, my cough has actually gotten worse. Can someone advise on what I should do? It's really concerning me.

Question

I've got a bit of a situation and was hoping to get some advice. About 30 years ago, I had TB and went through 9 months of treatment. Everything's been fine since then, and Ive stayed fit without any problems. But when I was in Dubai in 2016, during a medical test, they found an old scar on my chest and deported me, even though all my other tests like blood, skin, and sputum came back negative. I'm really curious if there's any kind of medicine or treatment out there that can help clear up or minimize this scar on an x-ray. I'd love to know what my options might be so that I can consider getting treatment and avoid issues like this in the future.

Question

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and I've been using Foracort 200 puff for a couple of months now because of my shortness of breath. I've been doing 1 puff in the morning and another in the evening. I'm starting to feel better and don't have any breathing issues now. Can I cut back to just taking a puff in the morning? I've been checking my peak flow meter at home.

Question

I've been having this cough for a month now, and my chest CT shows a few small mediastinal lymph nodes, with the largest one being 7.8 mm in the prevascular region. Should I be worried about this?
