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 21 and a couple of weeks back, I had a sore throat and cough. I took some antibacterial meds for a few days, but now I'm still coughing around 4-5 times a day with phlegm. The phlegm looks like what's in the picture. I feel fine otherwise, no other symptoms, but I'm a bit worried. Any idea what's going on?

I'm really worried because I've had this dry cough for over three months now, and it's just not getting any better. I've tried antihistamines a few times, but they didn't seem to help at all. Every time I cough, it makes this loud noise that feels like it's coming from deep inside me. It's so disruptive, and it's really affecting my sleep. Do you have any idea what could be causing this or what I should do next?

I'm really worried about my mom who's been diagnosed with pneumonia at St. Luke's E.R. The doctor gave her medication for just 15 days, but she's still struggling with a cough that keeps her up all night and it's affecting her sleep. We're really concerned because she's not allowed to leave the house, and we want to find out if theres a different medication or treatment that might help her. Who can we reach out to for more advice? Would appreciate any guidance!
