I'm worried about my chest X-ray results and don't really feel satisfied with the explanation I got from my doctor. The report mentions a nonhomogenous patchy opacity in the right apical region with adjacent fibro-bronchiectatic changes, along with a few small calcific densities in the right upper zone. It suggests something about chronic infective etiology. Could you help me understand if this is something serious or if I need to be concerned?

View allI'm currently using esiflo 500 transcaps for my asthma, but it doesn't seem to be working well for me. Can you suggest a better inhaler or any alternatives that might be more effective? I'm really looking for something that can provide better relief.
I would advise you to visit a pulmonologist so that you can be evaluated and undergo necessary investigations and get treated accordingly.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 62 and was in the hospital for COVID-19 with a CT severity score of 2125. He needed oxygen support for about 25 days and was on a lot of medications like steroids and anticoagulants. Now, he's been home for a month doing physiotherapy and breathing exercises, but mostly bed rest. His oxygen saturation is fine when he's resting, around 97-98, but it drops to 90-91 when he walks or does any little exercise. Plus, he still has a bit of a dry cough. Can you help me understand when we might see his oxygen levels stabilize and what more we can do?

I've been smoking for about 3 years and decided to quit a few weeks ago, but I'm having these random pains in my chest and back where I used to feel inflammation when I smoked. Is this normal after quitting? Should I be worried about these pains, or is it just part of my body adjusting to not smoking anymore?
