I'm looking at my CT scan results, and I'm not sure what to make of it. It mentions there's a subtle thin fibrotic band in the lateral segment of my right middle lobe and has a CORADS score of 3, which I think means it's indeterminate for COVID-19. I'm a bit anxious about what this might mean. Could you help me understand the report better?

I'm a 35-year-old guy, and my whole family has tested positive for COVID-19, but I tested negative on June 29. Lately, I've noticed I have a minor cough, and sometimes my oxygen level drops to 88, although it usually bounces back to 97 or 98 after about a minute. I only feel a little drowsy when it happens. Everything else seems okay. What should I do now?

Kindly consult a pulmonologist at the earliest for further evaluation

What can I use instead of Salsol 2.5 mg for a nebulizer? It's nowhere to be found in the market. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it since my brother really needs it due to his severe bronchitis. Is there any supplier who might have it?
