I've been dealing with bronchitis and it's really getting to me. Every time I see a doctor, it seems to help a little but then in just a week, I'm back to having a cough and feeling breathless again. It's really taking a toll on me. What could be causing these recurring symptoms? Is there something else I should be doing or asking my doctor about?

I'm really worried about my dad's CT HRCT report since he's 50 today, and I just don't fully understand it. The findings say things like "pulmonary interstitium is normal bilaterally," and theres no "nodular shadowing" or "ground glass haze." The report also mentions the "peribronchovascular tissue is unremarkable," which sounds like a good thing, but Im not sure. Plus, it says no "pleural effusion" or "calcification" is seen, and the "cardiovascular markings are of normal caliber." The impression just says "normal study." Does this mean everythings okay, and theres really nothing to worry about? Could you explain it so I can be sure Im understanding this right?

need not worry , its normal

I'm dealing with a cough problem for the past 15 days. I think it started because I've been sleeping in front of a cooler, and now it feels like the cough is stuck in my throat and chest. I've tried drinking turmeric milk, eating chana, having Honitus, and even using ginger and honey, but nothing seems to be helping. The cough just isn't coming out, and now my throat is really starting to hurt. What should I do?

take warm water.
