I've been dealing with a dry and cold cough for the past week, and it's really starting to worry me. My doctor prescribed azikem 500, but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to take. Is this medication typically recommended for these symptoms, or should I be considering something else? Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of while taking this?

Lately, I've had anxiety attacks and occasional breathing problems. I've done a crona igmrapid test which came back negative, and other tests like cbclftkftlipid. My hemoglobin is 12.6, and triglycerides are at 199. Everything seems normal, but I'm concerned about how to increase my spo2 levels. Can you please help me with this?

I've recently had an HRCT chest scan and it mentions bilateral minimal pleural effusion and infective etiology with a CO-RADS score of 2. Can you tell me if this is something serious or is it treatable? Also, I've had three head CT scans, two of which were done just two weeks apart back in 2018, and then another HRCT scan plus a few X-rays in 2020two for my chest and one for my throat. I'm kind of worried about whether all these scans could make me prone to cancer or cause any cell damage in the future. I'm a 27-year-old female and this is really concerning to me. What do you think?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with a coughing issue over the past week, and it's really getting out of hand, especially at night. It's making it hard to sleep because there's also this white mucus that keeps coming up from my throat. I'm considering taking a cough expectorant, but I'm not sure if that's the best move. What do you think? Should I try medication, or is there something else I should do?
