I've been dealing with this shortness of breath for quite a while now and it's really worrying me. It's like, to take a deep breath, I constantly find myself having to yawn. Could you suggest the kind of tests or treatments that might help with this?

I'm dealing with chest congestion and a wet cough that's been going on for over three months now. An X-ray showed I have left hilar lymphadenopathy. I tried taking Cefpodoxime, 200 mg twice a day, but it didn't help. Now I'm on Montelukast and Doxofylline tablets along with Foracort Rotacaps inhalation therapy, but I'm still not seeing any clear improvement. Any ideas on what I should do next?

I've been dealing with this sputum issue for a while now. I used to be a smoker, but I quit about four months ago. Occasionally, I've had a cigarette maybe once a month since then. Lately, I've noticed this sputum in my throat every morning when I wake up. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?

I'm experiencing a bit of pain in my right shoulder, kind of in the back area. I just had an X-ray on my spine, both AP and lateral views. The results mentioned something about a "suspicious opacity" in the posterior mediastinum and some pleural thickening. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm a bit worried about it.

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
