View allI've been dealing with some allergy problems lately, and when I saw a doctor, they had me do an allergy test and a chest X-ray. They mentioned there might be an infection in my chest. I decided to consult another doctor who requested a Montoux (Mantoux) test, and it came back with a 14mm result. I'm a bit worried about what all this could mean. Could you help me understand these results and the possible implications?
Probable diagnosis is allergy. Patient is advised tab allergra 120 mg orally ,bedtime for 14 days. Also tab augmentin duo 625mg is advised,orally,twice daily for 7 days.

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?
first do one chest xray and then consult a pulmonologist
