I'm dealing with a viral flu and it's been about two days now. I visited my doctor today, and he mentioned I've got a bit of wheezing on top of everything. He suggested I take Pulmoclear tablets twice daily, once in the morning and once at night, for a week, alongside the antibiotics I'm already on. I've never taken Pulmoclear before and it's my first time experiencing wheezing. Is this medication safe for me? I'm pretty anxious about trying something new and don't know how my body will react or if it's going to work well for me. Could you give me some advice?

View allI've got a bit of a situation and was hoping to get some advice. About 30 years ago, I had TB and went through 9 months of treatment. Everything's been fine since then, and Ive stayed fit without any problems. But when I was in Dubai in 2016, during a medical test, they found an old scar on my chest and deported me, even though all my other tests like blood, skin, and sputum came back negative. I'm really curious if there's any kind of medicine or treatment out there that can help clear up or minimize this scar on an x-ray. I'd love to know what my options might be so that I can consider getting treatment and avoid issues like this in the future.
It's great to hear that you're healthy and have no current issues. Unfortunately, there is no medicine to remove or "clean" an old TB scar on an X-ray. However, the scar doesn't necessarily affect your health. You may want to consult a pulmonologist or a specialist to explore options for presenting your case in a way that addresses the medical concerns.

I'm worried about the possibility of developing lung fibrosis. I had a CT score of 13 a month ago. Could that score suggest any risk of fibrosis developing later on?

I'm really worried because someone I know has been a COVID patient since April 8th. We retested after 17 days, and its still positive. The CT scan shows a CORADS6 and a severity score of 6 out of 25, with findings like patchy areas of ground glass, septal thickening, and vascular issues suggesting viral pneumonia. I'm not sure what steps to take next or which medicines should be considered. Can you help?
