I'm really worried about my husband's recent x-ray for his job. It's showing right hilar congestion, and although he's not coughing, he does have a cold. Do you think there's any medicine that could help, or maybe some advice on how to clear this up? He really needs the medical report to go abroad, and we're not sure what to do next.

Right hilar congestion on an X-ray can indicate mild inflammation or vascular congestion, possibly due to his cold. Since he has no cough or significant symptoms, supportive care like steam inhalation and staying hydrated may help. If required urgently for his medical report, consult a pulmonologist to rule out any underlying condition.

View allI'm dealing with a wet cough that's been hanging around for about 45 days. I saw a pulmonologist before and was told to take Montek LC, Alerodil syrup, and some antibiotics. I finished all the meds, but the cough is still here, and I hear a whistling sound in my chest. Is there a chance this could be TB or asthma? With the lockdown, I can't see a doctor in person. Which medicine might help ease my symptoms until I can get medical advice?
