I'm a bit worried about my recent x-ray results. It says there's a horizontal fissure and small granulomas in the left mid-zone. I had a cough last year, and I'm wondering if this is something serious. Should I be concerned or consider getting treatment?

I've been dealing with walking pneumonia quite a bit; it happens at least three times every year and has been like that for around eight years now. It seems to be getting worse each time and lasts longer too. I'm really worried it might be something serious like lung cancer, especially since Ive been smoking cigarettes and was exposed to a lot of secondhand smoke growing up. Is it normal to get walking pneumonia this frequently, or should I be talking to a professional about it?

I've just finished my tuberculosis treatment earlier this April after nine months on medication, but then I caught COVID at the end of the month. Since then, I haven't had any COVID symptoms, and an HRCT showed no lung infections. However, I'm struggling with a persistent dry cough and an itchy throat. There's also white mucus that shows up every morning but only a little bit. I've tried Alex syrup and some home remedies like ginger and honey, but nothing seems to be working. What could be causing this ongoing cough, and should I be worried?

I've just got my lung x-ray results back and it mentioned mild patchy consolidations in my bilateral lung fields. This definitely sounds concerning, doesn't it? I'm really curious to know what it all means. Do these findings indicate something serious? Should I be worried about this and what steps should I take next? Looking forward to your guidance.
