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.

Ive been dealing with a cough and cold for a couple of weeks now, and it's been tough because I'm also having trouble breathing. I got my blood work done and found out my ESR is 30 and AEC is 480. My general practitioner suggested I take Eofil once at night for 25 days, and I've already taken it for 5 days. Im still experiencing breathing difficulties, thoughsome days are better, but others are really tough. Could you give me some advice on what I should do next?

I'm a civil engineer and often travel to places where the air isn't too clean. Every time I do this, I end up with difficulty breathing through my nose the next day, although I can breathe fine through my mouth. My local doctor gave me this tab called Ebasil, and it works great, but the symptoms come back as soon as I stop taking it. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to deal with this?
