I'm really worried about my aunt who's been having some trouble breathing. I've attached her X-ray report here. Can you please take a look and tell me what it indicates?

I'm currently in my fifth month of TB treatment, and I've noticed that for the past week, I've been having a daily cough. It's not happening as often, but when it does, there's sputum. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something normal during treatment?

Probable diagnosis is upper respiratory tract infection.Patient is advised tab augmentin 625mg orally,thrice dailly for 5 days,tab levocetrizine 10 mg for 5 days and syrup salbutoml 10 ml thrice dailly for 5 days.

Is banana good for lungs?

Research says adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), those who ate fish, grapefruit, bananas and cheese tended to have better lung function and fewer symptoms than their counterparts who did not eat those foods.

I'm a bit worried because my x-ray results show I have a lung nodule. I'm applying to be a public teacher, and I don't have any pain or issues in my lung area, and I rarely cough. From what I know, a nodule isn't a communicable disease, so do you think I can still get a fit-to-work clearance?

Patient is advised bronchoscopy,FNAC and biopsy of the nodule for further management.Nodule biopsy is sent for cytology,micoscopy and AFB .Kindly review with the reports.
