I've been dealing with phlegm for about a month now, but I don't have any other symptoms that make me feel like I'm sick. I've already talked to a local doctor, but I was hoping to get a second opinion on what might be going on. Any ideas?

I'm reviewing the HRCT thorax report and noticed a few lymph nodes in the paratracheal region and some fibrotic opacity in the lateral basal segment of the right lower lobe of the lungs. Should I be concerned? Is this a normal finding?

I've been dealing with this persistent dry cough and throat irritation for the past four years, mostly due to seasonal allergies, but this year it's been different. The cough just isn't going away. It's like there's something stuck in my throat, making me cough non-stop for a couple of minutes until it clears up a bit. It happens every once in a while, but thankfully, there's no breathlessness. I've tried antibiotics, anti-allergics, antacids, and loads of other stuff, but nothing seems to truly help. What could be causing this, and is there something else I should try to get some relief?

you can take tablet montec lc for 1 week continusly

I'm really worried about how to manage my loved one's recovery from Covid. Their oxygen levels are mostly stable around 90, but whenever they start coughing, it drops really low to around 82 or 83. What can I do to help get rid of this cough? And are there any specific foods or things that can help boost their oxygen levels and ease the cough a bit?

do chest x ray
