I'm really concerned about my mom's recent x-ray report. It shows that both of her hila are congested. She had breast cancer about five years ago and went through surgery and chemotherapy, but has been doing well since then. Now with this new x-ray showing congestion and her having some breathing problems, I'm pretty worried. Can you help me understand what this might mean?

I'm really concerned about my dad. His oxygen levels are consistently around 94 or 93, and he's taking medication for high blood pressure. Also, he has a very large stomach. Could this be affecting his oxygen levels? What should we do about it?

Normal, nothing to worry ok.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's 35 and has been dealing with this heavy dry cough for over two weeks now. It's like she's coughing 247, and it's been tough on her. We went to see an MD and he said she might be dealing with asthma and an allergic cough. The doctor gave her some meds: Cefakind CV 500 twice a day, Doxomax XP twice a day, Grilinctus BM syrup three times a day, and she's also using a nebulizer twice daily. Her blood and urine tests came back normal but shes still not feeling any better. Could you help us understand what might be the best treatment for this kind of heavy allergic dry cough? We're feeling pretty stuck and don't know what to do next.
