I'm concerned about the results of my X-ray from April 10. What exactly does pneumonitis mean? Is it the same thing as pneumonia? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

I'm really concerned about my dad's cough. He's had it for about six months now, and it's mostly when he's lying down, but there's no fever. Besides that, he's dealing with high blood pressure, diabetes, and some heart issues. He's been on c furo cv 625 antibiotics for a couple of days, which seems to help a bit, maybe 40 percent better. But what else can we do? Any advice or other medicines you think would help?

Continue the same medicine, that would resolve and visit physician for follow up

I'm really worried as my friend tested COVID positive just four days ago. They're fully vaccinated and don't have any major symptoms, and their oxygen level is between 98-99 with a pulse rate of 80. I'm not sure if the chest X-ray is showing anything alarming. Could you help me understand if everything looks alright, or if there's anything serious we should be concerned about? How can they get better?

no need to worry consult nearby physician
