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?

I'm about seven weeks pregnant and I've been having this on and off wheezing and coughing at night for the past few weeks. Lately, it's been happening more often and it's really messing with my sleep. Sometimes I even struggle to breathe. I saw a physician who prescribed me Reswas, Cetrizine, and Drez gargle, but I've been on them for three days now, and it's not helping. What's going on? Should I be worried?
