I'm a little confused about the results from my x-ray and ALV. They mentioned something about discrete and linear infiltrates in my left upper lobe, and said my right upper lobe is clear. They also noted it might be a chronic inflammatory lung issue like ptb fibroid type. Can you help me understand what this means? I'm a bit worried about what it indicates for my lung health.

I'm having trouble breathing and feel like I'm half yawning a lot for the past three days. I had corona about a month ago but don't have any symptoms of it now. I'm just yawning continuously, even after sleeping for 12 hours. I'm really worried and can't figure out what's going on. Can anyone help guide me?

I've been having some mucus in my respiratory tract, and it's a bit weird because there's no cough or fever. But every morning, I notice this sound when I'm breathing in, and it's really uncomfortable. I'm wondering what might be causing this and if there's something I should be doing about it?

Please get your pulmonary function test done and also Chest xray. See a Pulmonologist in your area.

I'm really concerned about my wife. She's 32, doesn't smoke, and has had this persistent dry cough for almost a month now. It's like clockworkevery 30 minutes, and the coughing lasts about 4 to 5 seconds. We've already seen a pulmonary specialist. The first time, he prescribed some antibiotics, and then after two weeks, they did an X-ray, which came back normal. The doctor switched up the meds after that. It got slightly better for a bit, but for the last 4 days, the cough has returned, especially when she's lying down. I'm attaching the last prescription we received for reference. Right now, she's only using an inhaler twice a day as the rest of the medication course has ended. Could you give us any advice on what might be happening or what we should do next?

use tablet tusq for 5 days continously
