I'm a bit worried about my latest lung X-ray results which mention an "apicolordotic view is suggested" for some pneumonia in both parahilar regions and a pleuro-diaphragmatic reaction in the right lower lung, affecting both hemidiaphragms. Could you explain what all this means? Is it something I should be concerned about?

The chest X-ray report suggests pneumonia in both parahilar regions and the right lower lung, along with a pleuro-diaphragmatic reaction, indicating inflammation of the lung linings and diaphragm, and recommends an apicolordotic view for further evaluation, which is a specialized X-ray view to better assess the lung apices and guide treatment for the pneumonia.

I'm a little worried because I've been dealing with a lot of symptoms like excessive yawning, a constant feeling of needing to yawn, and even sometimes feeling like I can't breathe properly, all for about 45 days now. I also have a stuffy nose, my nasal turbinates seem enlarged, and I have post-nasal drip. I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis earlier, but these symptoms don't seem to be going away. Is there a chance that this has turned into allergic asthma or maybe even bronchial asthma, even though I havent started coughing or felt any chest pressure?

My husband finished 6 months of medication for mediastinal lymph node TB, and I've attached his reports. Originally, his node was 7cm by 3cm. During this period, he gained 9kg, and while he used to have a fever, thats gone now and his cough is a bit better. But he still coughs around 30 times a day, and I'm counting each one. Could it be something serious like cancer since his cough hasn't completely cleared up yet?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I was diagnosed with TB back in July and accidentally took Akurit 3 instead of Akurit 4. Although I'm on medication, I'm still having mild fevers and don't feel like I'm getting much better. I saw another doctor, and he prescribed Mycurit 4. I'm worried and wondering why I'm still experiencing fever. Could there be something else going on?
