I'm a bit worried because I've had pleural effusion in my right lung and got it tapped. I've been on treatment for it since May, starting with AKT4 for the first two months and then switching to AKT2 for the next four. It's been four months now, but I still feel a sharp pain in my right lung when I sneeze, hiccup, or yawn. Is this something I should be concerned about? Also, I haven't lost any weight; in fact, I've gained 5 kg since May and weigh 61 kg now. Any advice on what might be going on?

View allI'm a bit worried because I've had this weird temperature fluctuation for the past four days. It's usually between 97-98 but sometimes hits 99, and I have a slight cough. I've been taking Calpol 650 twice daily, but it hasn't changed much. The last x-ray showed a patchy opacity in my left lung. Should I be concerned, or is this just normal? Any guidance would be appreciated.

I 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 recently went to a pulmonologist and was diagnosed with pneumonia. I was put on coamoxiclav antibiotics for a week and duavent for nebulizing. But it's been two weeks since my follow-up visit, and I'm still coughing up phlegm. The doctor has now prescribed me levofloxacin and zykast. I'm a bit worried since I'm breastfeeding. Should I be concerned about these medications? Also, why hasn't my cough improved?
continue the antibiotics and review
