I'm a bit worried about my CT report that mentions I have a soft tissue pleural-based nodular lesion in the left upper lobe. It's measuring about 27x18x30 mm. I'm not sure if I should go for a biopsy or a PET scan next. Could you advise on what might be the best course of action?

View allI have a concern regarding the febrex plus tablet. I've noticed that every time I take it, I end up with a lot of coughing, but it doesn't seem to bring up any mucus. I'm a bit puzzled about why this is happening. Could you give me some insights or guidance on this situation?
Febrex Plus contains a combination of ingredients that can help relieve cold and flu symptoms, but one of its components, like the decongestant or antihistamine, may sometimes cause dryness in the airways. This can lead to a dry cough, as the body attempts to clear irritants without producing mucus. If this continues, it may be worth discussing with your doctor to adjust the medication.

I'm having some breathing issues, and I've noticed blood coming from my nose and mouth. The doctor mentioned a bronchoscopy. Could you explain what a bronchoscopy is? Also, are there any specific blood tests related to lung issues that I should know about?

I'm kind of worried because I've been coughing up these black particles in my phlegm every day, and it's pretty thick, especially in the morning. The color is usually grey and it looks a bit like clots. I'm not a smoker and never have been, plus I wear a mask all the time. I haven't had any breathing issues, fever, or weight loss, though I've been dealing with this for about two months now. I tried taking antibiotics but they didnt really make a difference. I'm only on thyroid medication at the moment. Any thoughts on what could be going on or what I should do next?
take syrup ascoril and get your sputum tested
