I recently got an HRCT scan of my chest, and the results showed minimal ground glass haziness in the posterior parts of both lungs, especially in the dependent zones. It also mentioned some small lymph nodes near the trachea and a few other places. I'm trying to understand what all this means. Should I be worried?

minimal haziness and small lymph nodes, especially if not associated with other symptoms, often do not indicate serious problems but should still be monitored.
If you have any chronic symptoms (like a cough, difficulty breathing, fever, or weight loss), or if the doctor suggests any follow-up, its important to follow their advice closely.

View allI'm experiencing brown phlegm for the last four days, especially in the morning right after I wake up. It's really concerning, as I need to spit it out and it hurts when I drink water or swallow saliva. Initially, I wasn't able to get it out properly, so I tried gargling with hot salt water, which seemed to help. By the way, I smoke. Do you think this could be related? Should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you may have bronchitis, which can be aggravated by smoking. I recommend you to take an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) 600mg every 12 hours to help loosen the phlegm. Additionally, you can use an over-the-counter cough syrup like Robitussin (dextromethorphan) 10ml every 4-6 hours as needed for cough. It is important to stay hydrated, so drink plenty of water throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my friend's situation. She has a high ESR, but it's been consistently at 92. The doctor at Apollo said she has TB, but her ESR hasn't changed. Can you help me understand what's going on with her?

I've been dealing with chest pain since January 2017, and even though all my blood tests like CBC, LFT, KFT, ECG, and an ultrasound of the abdomen came back negative, the X-ray found an infection in my left lung. A CT scan showed that the upper left lobe has collapsed, but the bronchoscopy didn't reveal anything. My main worry is that the infection seems to be getting worse according to the X-rays. I've been taking the medicines prescribed by my doctor, like Macox Plus, Pyzinia 1000, Combutol 800, and Durapain for the past two months. I'm really concerned about whether these medicines are enough to tackle the infection and help with my situation. What else can I do or look into to improve my condition?
