I'm having real trouble with breathing, a sharp pain in my chest, and I've lost my appetite. I was told it might be gastritis, but honestly, I don't think that's it because the meds aren't helping at all. Could it be something else? What should I do?

I'm worried about my right cp lungs being blunted. I've had a cough for the last 30 days. Can you recommend a good medication for this?

A blunted right CP lung could indicate some underlying condition, like pleural effusion or lung inflammation. Given your persistent cough for 30 days, it's important to consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. Medications like antibiotics or inhalers may be prescribed based on the diagnosis, but a proper assessment is needed to determine the right treatment.

I'm really worried about my mom. She seems to have some sort of lung issue because she's feeling fatigued a lot and has trouble breathing even just walking short distances or using the stairs. She had pleural effusion about three years ago, and now the symptoms seem to be coming back. Can you suggest what tests she should get to figure out what's going on?

Sputum for AFB,microscopy and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.
