I'm feeling really breathless for the past 5 days, but I don't have any cough or flu symptoms. I've tried taking anti-allergic and anti-acidic nasal sprays, and Ive been using steam. I've also taken Novacef 500, Xyxal M, and Sompraz 40. I've got some relief, but it's not completely better. Could you give me some advice on what else I might try?

My mom is 65 and she's been dealing with a really bad cough for the past two months. We got an x-ray done, and the doctor said we need to do a CT scan. They found a nodule about 6.7mm by 6.2mm in the upper lobe of her right lung. It's non-calcified, and I'm really worried. Does this mean there's a high chance it could be cancer, or could it be something like bronchitis or pneumonia instead?

I'm really concerned about my situation. It's been about 15 days since I recovered from COVID-19, and now I'm dealing with shortness of breath, fatigue, anxiety, and occasional chest pain. Sometimes it even feels like there's a sharp, needle-like pain. I haven't had any investigations or tests done yet. Could you advise me on what I should do next and which type of doctor I should consult? I'm a bit worried and could really use your guidance.

I've been feeling really unwell since May. It started with mild pain in the upper center of my chest, then turned into a high fever. By the 17th, I lost my taste and smell. Soon after, I noticed mild chest pain right in the center along with shortness of breath, but these weren't everyday occurrences. Strangely enough, these symptoms appeared again about 34 days later, and now they're back from June 23. This time, the pain has shifted a bit to the left and I'm having trouble breathing. Is this something serious? Could you please give me some advice?
