I'm really worried about my husband. He's had this dry cough since last September, and it usually happens right after he finishes eating. It's like he keeps needing to clear his throat. Plus, whenever he's in cold weather, it gets worse. We've seen so many general physicians, but no one can seem to figure out what's going on. We did a chest X-ray and an HRCT in October of 2021, and everything came back clear. We also just checked his IGE levels, and they were at 1071. One doctor suggested he take montair fx for a month. Could you help me understand what might be causing this?

View allI've been dealing with a cough for the past month and had symptoms that reminded me of Covid-19, but I've taken the RTPCR test twice this month, and both came back negative. Even so, I'm feeling a lot of pressure in my lungs. Any idea what could be going on or what I should do next?

I recently went for a chest X-ray and PFT test because I've been having some mild breathing issues. The ECG and echo came back normal, which is a relief. However, I did have COVID about 45 weeks ago, but it was pretty mild, just a 3-day fever and cold symptoms. I took all the necessary meds as prescribed after consulting a doctor. Should I still be concerned about these breathing issues, or is it likely just leftover effects from COVID even after so long?

I'm really worried about TB treatment with AKT tabs. I've heard they're supposed to be taken for months, but is there a risk of lung damage like cavities forming during or after the treatment? Is that something I should be concerned about?
