Could you help me understand my spirometry results? The report mentions predominant small airways obstruction, but I dont have any symptoms. I attached the report. What does this mean and should I be concerned?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been coughing for a week, and after we went to see a physician, she was given pulmoclear tablets. But now, after taking them for two days, she's having trouble breathing and feels tightness in her chest. Could this be a side effect of the tablet? Theres no family history of asthma or any breathing issues, and she was perfectly fine before starting the medication. I read somewhere that breathing problems are a rare but serious side effect of pulmoclear. Could this be true?
It's possible that your mother is experiencing a side effect from Pulmoclear, as breathing difficulty and chest tightness can occur, though rarely. I recommend stopping the medication and contacting her physician immediately to discuss her symptoms and explore alternative treatments.

Weve been using amoxicillin for the past 56 days, but the recent x-ray still shows no improvement. Should we consider getting a CT scan? How can we tell if its COVID pneumonia or just regular pneumonia? Are there specific tests to differentiate between the two? Is amoxicillin the only medication we should be taking for either type of pneumonia?
many antibiotics medications we can take not only one,* do CT scan

I've recently had a blood test, and it shows my eosinophil counts are higher than normal. I've also been having some breathing issues while I'm asleep, with a wheezing sound whenever I breathe in or out. Can you suggest what steps I should take next? Is there anything I can adjust in my diet to help bring my eosinophil counts back to normal levels?
It sounds like your high eosinophil count may be related to an allergic reaction or respiratory issue like asthma. I recommend following up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly allergy testing. In the meantime, avoid allergens, and include anti-inflammatory foods like omega-3-rich fish, fruits, and vegetables in your diet.
