I'm dealing with a wet cough that's been hanging around for about 45 days. I saw a pulmonologist before and was told to take Montek LC, Alerodil syrup, and some antibiotics. I finished all the meds, but the cough is still here, and I hear a whistling sound in my chest. Is there a chance this could be TB or asthma? With the lockdown, I can't see a doctor in person. Which medicine might help ease my symptoms until I can get medical advice?

The report mentioned something about small granulomata near the right second rib and the right hilum being slightly retracted upwards. Could this be something serious, and what should I do next?

I'm about to start a job in the Gulf, and I recently had a chest x-ray that showed a little grey color. I'm worried it might cause issues during the medical test for my job. Do you think it's okay to go ahead with the medical test as it is, or should I consider getting treatment first? Any advice would really help.

I've been dealing with asthma for over 8 years now and my doctor prescribed me a budesonide formoterol inhaler. Things have improved a bit, but I still have to use it, especially in winter. I just got over COVID about two weeks ago, but I've been noticing that if I sleep with the fan on high and no blanket, I get breathing issues because of the cold. This even happens during the summer. I always need a blanket when I sleep. Last night, around 3am, I had a breathing problem and tightness in my chest. My oxygen level was 89, but it went back above 93 after I turned off the fan and used a blanket. During the day, my oxygen is above 95. I'm worried because my oxygen levels drop at night. I've had this issue since I was a child, but back then, I didnt have a way to monitor my SpO2. Is this normal in asthma?
it might be due to nasal congestion, take steam inhalation before you sleep. it is not normal. there might be slight positional variations,but not this much
