I'm having some trouble with my breathing and I already tried the pantosec d gas tablet that my doctor recommended. I also saw a pulmonologist, had a chest X-ray and an ECG, and both came out normal. There didn't seem to be any problems, so no meds were given. Do you think I might still need any medication or other tests?

I'm really worried about my dad. He was diagnosed with interstitial lung disease about two years ago, and now I'm concerned it might be in an advanced stage. His latest HRCT shows a superimposed infection, and I'm not sure what this means or what we should do next. Can you offer any advice or insights on this situation?

So, I recently did a TB Mantoux test and my lymphocytes count is 46. The result mentioned something like Microscopic Induration at 3235 and there's erythema present. My doctor said something about seeing a pulmonology specialist for future options. Given all this, do you think this will affect my chances of getting a visa? It's really stressing me out.

I've been dealing with asthma and allergic rhinitis since I was a kid. Lately, I've noticed that every evening I get this wheezing sound, and while using the asthalin or Foracort inhaler helps, it just flares up again after a few hours. I'm also on Montelukast and Fexofenadine, and sometimes Levocetrizine before bed. The rhinitis seems to have gotten worse in the past few weeks, and I've started sweating more than usual. Could you suggest what might be going on or what I should do next?

take proper scheduled treatment for asthma like inhalers and steroids
