View allI'm 21 and have been dealing with wheezing for the past 5 months. I've seen several doctors and they all mention it's due to mucus build-up. They prescribed me some tablets, and I've completed the course, but it's still not getting better. A few have also mentioned that I have a condition called pigeon chest, and that this could be why recovery is taking so long. I'm really tired of taking meds with no relief. What can I do to actually get better?

My grandfather is in the ICU right now and I'm really worried because the display is showing he has low oxygen supply. Can a doctor explain what's happening and what this might mean for his condition?
Low oxygen supply in a critical condition like ICU can be concerning. It is important to address this issue promptly. One common medication used to increase oxygen supply is **Oxygen Therapy**. This involves administering oxygen through a mask or nasal prongs at a specific flow rate prescribed by the healthcare provider. The dosage and duration of oxygen therapy will be determined by the medical team based on your grandfather's condition. It is crucial to follow their instructions closely to ensure optimal oxygen delivery to his body tissues.

I'm a bit worried about something I noticed on my chest x-ray. It showed fibrolinear densities in the lungs, and I'm trying to understand what this means. Just a little backgroundI had TB about 10 years ago and went through the 6-month treatment for it. Now, I'm about to have a pre-employment physical exam, and I didn't mention my TB history during the interview. Should I be concerned about this affecting my exam results or my job prospects?
Fibrolinear densities on your chest X-ray likely represent old scar tissue from your previous TB infection and treatment 10 years ago. These findings are generally not active disease but could raise questions during a pre-employment exam if not explained. Its best to clarify your history if asked, as treated TB is typically not a barrier to employment.
