I'm feeling a bit concerned because my family doctor suggested I get my chest X-ray PA report attested due to some weakness I've been experiencing. I'm a little anxious since I had a history of tuberculosis back in 2018. Could you help me understand if everything looks okay in this report?

Good morning doctor, my grandma had cataract surgery about 10 days ago, and before that, she was dealing with asthma and pleural effusion. Lately, shes experiencing some hoarseness when she breathes. Were considering using a nebulizer with budecort for her. Do you think that would be okay?

I've had this whistling sound whenever I forcefully exhale from my lungs since childhood. I don't have any breathing difficulties, but it also happens when I laugh really hard. Is this something I should be worried about?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with a dry cough for over two months now, and I've had breathing problems too. My head hurts a lot, and I've been vomiting. I got an x-ray, and it looks like the infection in my chest is getting worse. What could be causing all this, and what should I do next?

Tab augmentin 625mg orally thrice daily,tab levocetizine 10mg bed time for 5 days and syrup sucralfate 10ml thrice daily is advised to the patient.
