I've been diagnosed with a bulla in my right lung and have had a persistent cough for 20 days along with mild breathing issues. Should this be treated with surgery or medication, and what would the cost look like for either option?

COST depends on dr and hospital.

I'm concerned about my father's X-ray results. It mentions a few calcified foci in the bilateral upper lung zone, and his lungs are hyperinflated with a flattening of the diaphragm. There's also apical pleural thickening on both sides. Can you help me understand what this means? How serious is it? I'm really worried and just want to make sure we're not missing anything important.

you need to start treatment for the above findings
