I'm really worried about my dad. He's got asthma, just like his dad did, and Im not sure, but is having a cold related to asthma? Hes had a runny nose for about 15 days now. Could this be because of his asthma, or do you think it might be something else? What should we do?

I've recently started experiencing some shortness of breath out of nowhere, and it made me decide to stop smoking. For a week or so after quitting, I felt fine and didn't have any breathing issues. But now, in the second week, the shortness of breath has come back suddenly. Could you shed some light on why this might be happening? Also, are there any home remedies I could try to help with this?

I'm experiencing shortness of breath and chest tightness. I was previously diagnosed with pneumonia and took medication for it. I recently had a CT scan done and it showed fibrotic strands. Should I be worried about these findings? What does it mean for my recovery and overall lung health? It's making me quite anxious, and I really need some guidance on what steps to take next.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
