I'm dealing with a blocked nose and a cough that I've had for a few days, but now I'm noticing some blood in my cough. Should I be concerned about this, and what type of doctor should I see?

It could be due to various reasons such as a respiratory infection, bronchitis, or even more serious conditions like pneumonia or tuberculosis. I recommend you to consult a Pulmonologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dad. His CT scan just showed that he has right-sided pleural effusion with a solid component, and there's something about subsegmental collapse consolidation. Could these findings mean he might have developed some kind of malignancy? I'm not sure what to think and could really use some guidance.

I've been having this issue for the last few years where I can breathe just fine during the day, but when I'm sleeping, particularly in the early mornings, theres this sound from my chest and I struggle to breathe properly. I end up waking up and have to do some breathing exercises to feel normal again. Even though my lung function seems okay according to the doctors I've seen, this is really messing with my sleep, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Any advice?

My dad's really struggling with his COPD. He can barely walk 20 meters without having trouble breathing. He's taking Trinose, Montelukast, Acebrophylline, and Finofixodine tablets, plus an inhaler, but it doesnt seem to be helping much. Is there anything else we can try or do for better relief? Its really worrying me.
