I'm really worried about my chest X-ray results from a private lab. It showed some tiny calcifications, and they mentioned it's from an old condition. I'm afraid this might cause issues with my medicals, as I plan to go abroad soon. Is there any way to deal with this or get it removed? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm really worried because my pulmonologist mentioned something about "allergic airway disease" after my PFT test. I don't really understand what that is. Is it serious? Also, the doctor prescribed me Ofloxacin O2 tablets and Fexodine tablets. Can you explain what these medications are for and if I should be concerned about taking them?

no its allergy ,the medicines given is good , continue it

I'm dealing with a dry cough that's been going on for about three weeks now, but it's not there all the time. I've been taking amrutarishta twice a day and calcimax forte for vitamin D each day, and also getting about 15-20 minutes of sunlight daily. I had a chest x-ray, phlegm test, blood test, and thyroid test, and everything came back normal. Could you recommend something to help with this cough?

A chest x-ray repeat, complete blood test and lung function tests is advised to the patient.
