I'm really worried about my grandmother. She's got an infection in her left lung, and now that lung isn't working. She's been on a ventilator, and they've done broncoscopy twice on that lung. But she's still unconscious and dealing with an electrolyte imbalance alongside that lung infection. Are there any methods or treatments that could help get her lung functional again?

I'm trying to understand what it means to have primary pulmonary pseudolymphoma. My doctor mentioned there's no treatment needed and they just want to keep an eye on it. Should I be worried about this condition? How serious is it, and what kinds of changes or symptoms should I be watching out for if we're only observing?

I'm really concerned about my condition. I've been dealing with COPD for 12 years now, and it gets especially bad during the monsoon season. I have allergies to dust, pollen, aerosol, rain, and even some dry fruits. It's really frustrating and I'm desperate to find a permanent solution to get rid of this asthma. Could you recommend anything that might help?

I'm really worried about my 67-year-old mom. She had covid pneumonia and developed post-covid lung fibrosis. The doctors assured us there was no need for concern since she only had a dry cough and no symptoms. A year down the line, we did a routine CT scan and now there's a 3 cm lung mass and multiple nodules up to 9mm in her right lung. Could this be due to the fibrosis she had after covid? I'd really appreciate some guidance on what to do next.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
