I'm kind of worried about my chest and I'd like some advice. My CT scan showed a subtle thin fibrotic band in the lateral segment of the right middle lobe, and they mentioned something about Corads3 being indeterminate for COVID infection, and the score was 01 out of 25. Does this mean its serious? I've been feeling heaviness and pain in the middle of my chest for the last 2 to 3 months. I'm anxious because my X-rays and all my other tests like blood work, ECG, endoscopy, and more came back normal. Ive been dealing with anxiety for about six months too. Could the CT findings be something to worry about?

View allI'm really worried about my dad who's 67 and lives in Haryana. It's super cold there, and every year he ends up with a wet cough. We saw a pulmonologist about two years ago who said to use Brozedex, Budecort Respules, and there was another medication which I'm not sure if it's Levolin or Duolin. But his doctor is currently out of town, and were having trouble reaching him. My dad used to smoke but quit in 2004 before his CABG. Could you help me figure out what the third medication might be?
It sounds like your father may be experiencing recurring respiratory issues due to the cold, especially given his smoking history and past CABG. The medications prescribed, such as **Brozedex** (a combination of bronchodilator and steroid), **Budecort Respule** (a steroid), and either **Levolin** or **Duolin** (bronchodilators), are commonly used to manage symptoms like wet cough and breathing difficulties. It would be advisable to continue these medications as prescribed but consult with another pulmonologist if symptoms worsen or if you're unsure about the third medication.

I'm in a bit of a situation and could use your advice. My dad's been dealing with this interstitial-looking disease and he's currently on medication for it. The doctor said we should consider getting an oxygen concentrator for him. I want to make sure I choose the right equipment and find a reliable dealer. Could you suggest any specific models or places where I could purchase one?
kindly take help of pharmacist
