Could there be any chance that lung lesions, especially if the largest is about 2cm, might be cancerous? What are the probabilities of that happening? I'm really worried. Can you help me understand?

I'm really at a loss here. I've been hit with two chest infections recently and gone through three rounds of antibioticsamoxicillin, azithromycin, and doxycyclineand yet my cough just wont go away. Every time I wrap up an antibiotic treatment, I feel a bit better for a couple of days, but then the fevers and cough come roaring back. The cough is awful, brings up phlegm, and even sets off my asthma, making me feel lightheaded and out of breath. It's just so frustrating. I've ruled out whooping cough with a test, so I'm really wondering what could be going on and what I should do next. Any ideas?

I'm taking Montek LC, usually half a tablet at night, but sometimes I get shortness of breath during the day. Is it okay to take another half tablet in the morning too if that happens?

Montek LC is typically taken once a day, and it's best to follow your doctor's instructions. If you're experiencing shortness of breath or choking during the day, it's important to consult your doctor to discuss adjusting the dosage or considering an alternative treatment.
