I'm really worried about my mom's cough. A few years back, especially during winter, she was using a nebulizer. Do you think it's okay to start using it for her again now?

-Yes, you can use a nebulizer for your mother's cough, especially if it helped her in the past. However, it's best to consult a doctor to ensure the correct medication and dosage are used, as her condition may have changed.

View allI'm really worried because I was diagnosed with TB about 8 months ago, and now I've started having this phlegm and some occasional pain in my upper chest. I'm not sure if this is normal or if something else might be going on. Could you tell me what might be causing these symptoms?

I'm really worried about my brother who's been covid positive for a week now. He had a fever for the first few days, but now that's gone and he's got this dry cough. We got some tests done and I've got the chest X-ray results, but the doctor can only see us next Sunday and today is Thursday. The report mentions something about inhomogeneous opacities at both mid and lower zones, and it also says there's a bilateral pulmonary inflammatory lesion. Should we be waiting till Sunday to see our doctor or do you think it's better to check with another doctor sooner? Id really appreciate your advice on what this might mean and how to proceed.

I'm really worried about pulmonary embolism because I read that 80% of cases are only diagnosed during an autopsy. It's kind of freaking me out to think about how often this might go undetected. What are the scenarios where dead space ventilation is observed, and are there any conditions where it's not usually present? I'm trying to understand more about how this works and what signs I should look out for.
