Question 1

I'm a bit worried because I've had pleural effusion in my right lung and got it tapped. I've been on treatment for it since May, starting with AKT4 for the first two months and then switching to AKT2 for the next four. It's been four months now, but I still feel a sharp pain in my right lung when I sneeze, hiccup, or yawn. Is this something I should be concerned about? Also, I haven't lost any weight; in fact, I've gained 5 kg since May and weigh 61 kg now. Any advice on what might be going on?

Question 2

I've been smoking for about three years now and every time I light up, I start feeling this weird pain on the right side of my chest, near where my thymus is. It seems to go away after like 15 minutes, especially if I press on it, then I usually burp a few times and the pain just disappears. I'm a bit concerned, is this something I should be worried about?

Question 3

I'm really concerned about my husband. He had COVID back in September 2021, and ever since we're worried about his lungs. He's been taking medication for pulmonary lung fibrosis for the last four months. I'm attaching his recent CT scan of his lungs. Can you tell if there's been any improvement? And how much longer might it take for him to fully recover?
