I'm 27 and have asthma. I'm taking deriphyllin tablets right now, and my husband and I are thinking about starting a family. I'm concerned about whether it's safe to continue this medication while trying to conceive. Could you advise me on this?

Asthma should not be treated with that drug.. inhalers are far better, lesser side effects, non addicting, safest in pregnancy, less dose needed,

I'm having some troubling symptoms and wanted to see what you think. I've been experiencing a continuous cough for the past two months and occasionally when I sneeze or cough, I notice blood coming out from my mouth. On top of that, sometimes I have difficulty breathing. It's been worrying me, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could there be something serious happening?

I've got this CT value of 525 from my HR CT chest scan, and I'm worried it might mean I have pneumonia. Could you tell me if it's something mild or more serious? And if it is pneumonia, is there any medication you would recommend?

I just got my mom's chest X-ray results, and it mentions "small calcified nodules" in her right middle zone and right apical region, and it says something about tuberculosis. I'm really worried. Can you explain what this means? Is it something serious or risky that I should be concerned about? Also, what kind of treatment might be needed for this? I'm pretty stressed and just want to make sure she's okay. Can you help clarify all this for me?

this is sequalea of tuberculosis, kindly visit your pulmonologist and take one opinion
