I'm a bit concerned about my recent chest X-ray results. They mentioned there were suspicious infiltrates in the upper lobe, and I had to get an apicolordotic X-ray. Thankfully, the second test came back with no abnormalities. What does this mean for my health? I just want to understand if there's anything I should be worried about.

It means that while the chest X-ray initially showed some suspicious signs in the upper lung lobe, the follow-up apicolordotic X-ray did not reveal any abnormalities. This suggests that there are no significant issues in that area, which is reassuring. However, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further assessment if needed.

I'm currently using Foracort but it's quite expensive for me. I've heard of some cheaper options like Quikhale 200 Vent FB. The problem is I don't have a prescription right now. Is it safe to switch, or what would you recommend?

I'm just wondering if it's normal to still have a dry cough at this point in my treatment. Some days it's like 20 times, and other days maybe just 10 or none at all. I was diagnosed with a mediastinal lymph node through CECT and EBUS, and the cough has definitely gotten better over time, but it hasn't gone away completely. I'm about three and a half months into an eight-month treatment plan. Is the cough variation Im experiencing typical at this stage?

yes because of irritation and infection you will get cough
