I'm dealing with a really stubborn dry cough that's been going on for over a month now. I've already tried taking Azee and Levoday antibiotics and used Ascoryl and Benadryl dry cough syrups, but nothing seems to be working. Any idea what else I could try or what might be going on?

-It sounds frustrating that your dry cough is lingering despite treatment. Since the antibiotics and cough syrups haven't helped, I recommend seeing a doctor again to rule out other causes, such as asthma, acid reflux, or post-nasal drip. A thorough check

View allI've been having this weird feeling where I get short of breath, but I'm not coughing or feeling any chest pain. It's strange because sometimes it feels like I just can't take a deep breath, but then it kind of eases up when I eat something. Should I be worried about this, or is it something I can just ignore? What could be causing it?
take tablet pantoprazole once a day for 5 days

I'm a bit concerned about my x-ray report showing prominent broncho vascular markings, especially since I have a history of bronchitis. I'm 51 years old and commute for 2 hours daily. My previous PFT report was okay, but could this be something serious?
Your x-ray report showing prominent broncho vascular markings could be indicative of bronchitis or inflammation in the airways. Given your history of bronchitis and daily travel of 2 hours, it is important to manage this condition to prevent any exacerbation. I would recommend using an inhaler like Salbutamol (Ventolin) 2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for bronchospasm. Additionally, you can use an inhaled corticosteroid like Fluticasone (Flovent) 2 puffs twice daily to reduce airway inflammation. It is also important to stay hydrated, avoid exposure to smoke or pollutants, and consider wearing a mask during your daily commute to protect your airways. Regular follow-up with your doctor for monitoring and possible repeat PFT testing is advisable to ensure optimal lung function.

I'm really worried about my sister. She's been coughing for the last three months, and it just keeps coming back. On top of that, she's lost weight compared to what she used to be. When she coughs, she feels pain in her chest, and she's also lost her appetite. She's mentioned having a bitter taste in her mouth too. A general physician advised her to get a chest X-ray. Can you help me understand what might be going on? What could possibly be causing all these symptoms?
it can be tuberculosis,soo better get an xray and sputum test done
