I'm having some breathing problems at night with shortness of breath. My doctor checked me over and recommended I take the tablet GLEMONTA and said I should take it at night. I'm wondering, is it okay if I take it before dinner instead?

My wife is six months pregnant and she's been struggling with a persistent cough and cold since her first month. We've been seeing her gynecologist regularly and they've given us some medicine, but it only offers temporary relief. Recently, the gynecologist advised us to consult a pulmonologist. I'm just concerned and wondering if it's safe for her to take allergy medication at this stage of her pregnancy. Any recommendations on what kind of treatment the pulmonologist might suggest?

I'm really worried about my dad, he's 62 and he's been coughing up quite a lot of blood, like 300 to 500 ml. He had TB treatment about 25 years ago, and now it seems like scars in his right lung have reactivated. Theyre even suggesting he might need his right lung removed. The scan shows segmental consolidation in the right lower lobe, multiple emphysematous bullae in the right upper and lower lobes, and some pleural thickening in the lower hemithorax. What does all this mean, and what should we do next? Is removing the lung really necessary, or are there other options?

keep antibiotics on , and follow nearby pulmonologist
