Question

My mom is dealing with Bronchial Asthma and I'm really worried. She recently had surgery to remove air from her lungs, but there's still some left according to the X-ray. She's a bit overweight and tries to walk every day, but she gets breathless after just a few steps. Can you suggest what might help her with this?

Question

I'm really concerned about my recent chest X-ray results which show that both hilar and lung markings are increased. Also, I've been having a fever fluctuating between 99-100 degrees for the last 15 days. No other symptoms have shown up yet. What could this mean? Should I be worried about anything serious?

Question

I'm from Bangladesh and I've been told I have some nodular opacity in the right lower zone of my chest. It's getting in the way of me being able to study abroad because the embassy won't approve my application with this issue. My doctor mentioned it's not actually a disease, but I'm curious if there's any way to treat this or remove the spot from my lungs. Is there anything I can do?
