I've been feeling this pain on the right side of my chest whenever I take a deep breath or sneeze. It's been going on for about two months, and sometimes it feels mild, but other times it's sharp. Plus, it hurts more when I do anything physical. The pain even goes up to my right shoulder and back. I don't have a cough or sore throat or anything like that, just this weird pain. What do you think it could be?

I've been having trouble breathing recently and went to see the doctor. He asked me to get an X-ray of my chest and face. The report said my lungs are clear, but I have a lung infection and sinusitis. I'm still struggling to breathe. Could this be small cell lung cancer? I have some symptoms, except for weight loss and coughing up blood or phlegm. It's been going on for a month, even though I'm on meds the doctor prescribed. Should I be worried?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .A pulmonologist opinion is also advised to the patient.

I've been having frequent asthma attacks and it seems like my current meds, Foracort rotacaps and Levolin, aren't really doing the trick. There's no fever or sneezing, and my PFT results show moderate obstruction. I'm not a smoker either. I've already talked to a bunch of pulmonologists, but I'm still struggling. What would you recommend for better treatment?

I'm a 20-year-old female dealing with active pulmonary tuberculosis, and I've been on treatment for about 1.5 months now. The doctor said my x-ray shows that 70% of my lung is damaged, and there are large cavities. I'm having severe white-colored cough that just won't quit, and I'm exhausted all the timeI can't even stand without feeling the need to sit down. Any exercise or even short walks wipe me out completely. Given that I've been on medication for a while now, shouldn't the severe cough have improved by now? Is there any chance my lungs can heal and return to their previous state without cavities? And this tirednesscould it be a side effect of the anti-tuberculosis medicine I'm on?

yes your tiredness us because of tuberculosis medicine, take highly nutritious food. after proper treatment your lungs will become normal
