I'm a bit concerned about my x-ray report showing prominent broncho vascular markings, especially since I have a history of bronchitis. I'm 51 years old and commute for 2 hours daily. My previous PFT report was okay, but could this be something serious?

Your x-ray report showing prominent broncho vascular markings could be indicative of bronchitis or inflammation in the airways. Given your history of bronchitis and daily travel of 2 hours, it is important to manage this condition to prevent any exacerbation. I would recommend using an inhaler like Salbutamol (Ventolin) 2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for bronchospasm. Additionally, you can use an inhaled corticosteroid like Fluticasone (Flovent) 2 puffs twice daily to reduce airway inflammation. It is also important to stay hydrated, avoid exposure to smoke or pollutants, and consider wearing a mask during your daily commute to protect your airways. Regular follow-up with your doctor for monitoring and possible repeat PFT testing is advisable to ensure optimal lung function.

My dad just turned 50, and even though he's fully vaccinated, he tested positive for COVID yesterday. His oxygen levels are reading 93-94, and since he has asthma, Im worried. Is it normal for his oxygen levels to be like this? Could it mean there's an infection in his lungs? Would doing some breathing exercises help him get his SpO2 levels back up?

I've been dealing with this cough for almost two weeks now. Initially, it was dry, but in the last three days, it's turned into a wet cough, and I'm able to spit it out. I'm feeling constantly tired and really don't have the energy to get things done. Mornings are especially tough because I can't seem to get up. On top of that, I've been having severe headaches all day long. I'm kind of worried about what's going on. Could you give me some advice on what's happening and what I should do?
take syrup ascoril twice a day for 5 days
