I've been dealing with wheezing for a few years now, and recently, my cough has gotten a lot worse. There are times when I really struggle to catch my breath. I've been using Levolin as prescribed, and my doctor told me to continue with it. But I'm just wondering if that's really enough? Should I be considering any additional treatments or precautions?

View allI'm having this nagging minor chest pain that's been going on for about 6-7 months, mostly when I'm coughing or turning from side to side in bed. It doesn't bother me when I'm just sitting or walking around. About six months back, I saw an MD, and ECG results were normal. Later, I had an ear infection and visited an ENT who found my IgE level really high and put me on antibiotics and Montelukast tablets, which I finished a couple of months ago. But the chest pain is still there. I asked my doctor for more tests, and they suggested a CT chest scan. The report mentioned small ground glass opacities. I'm kinda worried now could this be something serious? Is my chest pain related to these findings, and what's the next step for treatment?
there might be inflammation of lungs, kindly consult a pulmonologist

I'm a bit worried because I've been dealing with a dry cough for about six months now. I did take a full course of an antibiotic syrup after consulting with my doctor, but the cough just keeps coming back. Interestingly, I noticed that when I traveled to Varanasi for a week, I didnt cough at all, but as soon as I got back to Panvel, the coughing started up again. Could this be related to something environmental or do you think theres another issue at play?
The persistent dry cough for six months, despite antibiotic treatment, and its mysterious disappearance during a 7-day trip to Varanasi, only to return upon coming back to Panvel, suggests an environmental trigger; consider consulting a pulmonologist or allergist to investigate possible causes, such as air pollution, dust, mold, or pet allergies, specific to the Panvel environment, and conduct tests like spirometry, chest X-ray, or allergy panels to determine the underlying cause.
