View allI'm a bit concerned because I got my x-ray report back today, and it says I have a ground glass appearance in the peripheral region of my left lung. I'm not really sure what this means or why it would happen. Could you help me understand this?

I've been dealing with a cough for about two weeks now. It kicked off as a loose and pretty bad one, but lately, it's turned into a dry cough. I notice it's really severe when I take deep breaths. Can you suggest what might be going on or what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a persistent cough that has transitioned from a productive (loose) cough to a dry cough. For your dry cough, you can try taking **Dextromethorphan** (such as Robitussin DM) at a dosage of 10-20 mg every 4 hours as needed to suppress the cough reflex. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge with **Benzocaine** to help soothe your throat irritation. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can help alleviate your cough symptoms. If your cough persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm worried about my chest X-ray results and don't really feel satisfied with the explanation I got from my doctor. The report mentions a nonhomogenous patchy opacity in the right apical region with adjacent fibro-bronchiectatic changes, along with a few small calcific densities in the right upper zone. It suggests something about chronic infective etiology. Could you help me understand if this is something serious or if I need to be concerned?
