Question

My dad's been dealing with a fever since February 26th, and even though we started the meds I mentioned before, there's been no improvement. I then went to a pulmonary doctor who mentioned an infection after viewing the X-ray. I'm worried because apart from his hemoglobin level being 11, the blood test came back normal. They ruled out typhoid and malaria, so I'm at a bit of a loss here. Can you offer any advice on what steps to take next?

Question

I'm currently on mlife tab which I take once a day and use seroflo as needed, especially when the weather changes. The only issue I have is breathlessness. I'm curious about how long I can continue using mlife and if there's any chance of completely curing this. If a cure isn't possible, what's the best approach to prevent it from coming back?

Question

I'm experiencing pain on the left side of my lung for the past year. Sometimes it goes away, but other times it really hurts. I recently had an X-ray done, and it says there's a fibrotic lesion on my left upper lung. Is this something serious? What could be causing it? I'm really worried and would love some advice.
