I'm trying to understand the possible causes of a cavitary lung lesion and what diseases it might indicate. Can you help clarify which of these are contagious and which ones aren't? Are all lung-related diseases something I should be worried about spreading to others?

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and my doctor suggested I get a PFT to see if I have asthma. Lately, I've been having a cough or cold that lasts for about 25 days, even though I'm taking Ebast M almost every day. Is there anything I should do to prepare for the PFT? Should I stop taking Ebast M before the test or is it fine to continue with it?

do pft without taking ebast m

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with Asthma for a long time, and on top of that, now he's got this Marbu Sali thing going on for the last three days. He's been using Asthalin rotocaps a lot, like 78 times a day, which sounds like way too much, right? And now he's got a headache too. He doesn't have any bad habits but he just won't go see a doctor. I'm not sure what to do, can you suggest any other options or treatments that might help him?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
