I've been dealing with this cough for almost three years and recently finished a course of doxolin 400, pan 40, and montek lc. It began as a dry cough, but now, for the past month, I've been experiencing a burning sensation in the center of my chest. What could be happening? Should I be worried about this chest burn?

I'm really worried because theres fluid build-up in one of my mom's lungs. We're headed to CMC Vellore and it's about a 2-hour 15-minute flight. She's been coughing and has some trouble breathing. Is it safe for her to fly right now, or should we consider another form of travel?

No, major risks

I'm really struggling with this persistent dry cough I've had for about 4 months now, and it gets worse when I'm trying to sleep. I've tried a bunch of antibiotics and different cough syrups prescribed by local doctors, but they only work temporarily and then the cough comes back. I'm a 33-year-old male and have RHD MS. I've undergone ballooning twice and currently I'm on MetXL BD, Aquazide 12.5 OD, and Pentidure 12 LA every 21 days. I consulted with my cardiac specialist at AIIMS in New Delhi, and he said my heart is okay but recommended a PA view X-ray and a chest specialist consultation. I've been using a water steamer for steam for about 15-20 days and taking some antibiotics and cough syrups from local docs, but nothing seems to be working now. I've also been dealing with constipation and gastric problems, and I started taking laxatives for bowel clearance, which has been effective. I don't drink or smoke and don't use any other drugs. What should I do next?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
