I'm really concerned about something I read recently regarding pigeons and lung health. It mentioned that pigeons can cause lung disease, including bronchitis and lung infections. Could you explain how this happens? Do pigeons release some kind of acid that's harmful to us when we breathe in? I'm just trying to understand why this might trigger such issues with our lungs.

View allI'm feeling a bit concerned because I've been having this stubborn dry cough and chest pain that just won't go away. It's been sticking around since I caught a cold about four weeks ago. Sometimes it's not too bad, but other times it gets really severe. I saw an ENT who gave me some antibiotics and syrup to try for five days, but there's been no change. The doctor mentioned something about needing a blood test if things dont get better after this. What could be causing this? Should I be worried about needing further tests, or is this just a common thing after a cold?
yes do a blood test ,- complete blood count, CRP

Lately, I've been getting tired easily when I exercise or even just walk. I'm 26 and there's no asthma history in my family. I had a PFT test done and it showed mild restriction and low vital capacity. What could this mean, and what might be causing it?
Do breathing exercises, drink warm water , inhale steam 5 times a day , avoid allergens
