I'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.

My dad has been struggling with breathing and coughing a lot lately. We just got his test results, and it says there are prominent bronchovascular markings in his bilateral lung fields. I'm worried and not sure what this means. Could this explain why he's having these symptoms? What steps should we take next?

I've been having this cough with sputum mostly at night and not so much during the day. There's no fever, weight loss, vomiting, or anything else like that. Should I be concerned, or is this something that might just go away on its own?
