I've been feeling really unwell since May. It started with mild pain in the upper center of my chest, then turned into a high fever. By the 17th, I lost my taste and smell. Soon after, I noticed mild chest pain right in the center along with shortness of breath, but these weren't everyday occurrences. Strangely enough, these symptoms appeared again about 34 days later, and now they're back from June 23. This time, the pain has shifted a bit to the left and I'm having trouble breathing. Is this something serious? Could you please give me some advice?

I'm experiencing shortness of breath and chest tightness. I was previously diagnosed with pneumonia and took medication for it. I recently had a CT scan done and it showed fibrotic strands. Should I be worried about these findings? What does it mean for my recovery and overall lung health? It's making me quite anxious, and I really need some guidance on what steps to take next.
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

My dad was diagnosed with sarcoidosis after a prostate biopsy, and he had a high ACE level. He's been on 32 mg of prednisolone for about two months now, but we haven't noticed any improvement. He's also taking clarithromycine, forcan, and augmentin because of high neutrophil counts. Im really concerned and just wondering, does it sound like hes on the right treatment plan? Any advice would be really appreciated.
yes the treatment is correct
