I'm really worried about my dad's CT HRCT report since he's 50 today, and I just don't fully understand it. The findings say things like "pulmonary interstitium is normal bilaterally," and theres no "nodular shadowing" or "ground glass haze." The report also mentions the "peribronchovascular tissue is unremarkable," which sounds like a good thing, but Im not sure. Plus, it says no "pleural effusion" or "calcification" is seen, and the "cardiovascular markings are of normal caliber." The impression just says "normal study." Does this mean everythings okay, and theres really nothing to worry about? Could you explain it so I can be sure Im understanding this right?

View allI'm traveling right now and I have asthma, but I forgot to bring my Foracort 100 medicine. I do have Tiova, Seroflo, and Salbair with me because my mom uses them. Can I take any of these instead of Foracort? Please let me know as soon as you can.
Use Seroflo as a substitute for Foracort. It will help with both controlling inflammation and keeping your airways open. Use Salbair for immediate relief if you're having difficulty breathing or experiencing an asthma attack.
