I've been having some serious problems lately with throwing up right after I eat, and I keep getting these bouts of dry cough and cold. My recent X-ray showed something about 'moderate prominent broncho vascular markings'. What does that mean? Should I be worried about it? And could all of these symptoms be connected somehow? I'm really worried and would love your insight.

Could be indicative of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and possible respiratory infection. For the vomiting, you can take Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast. For the dry cough and cold symptoms, you can take Levocetirizine (brand name Xyzal) 5mg once daily at bedtime. It is also important to stay hydrated and avoid triggers that worsen your symptoms.

View allMy mom struggles with coughing a few times a year, and the doctor said it might be asthma or allergic bronchitis. I'm trying to understand this better. What could be causing these symptoms to flare up and how can we help manage them effectively? Are there specific things we should look out for or avoid to keep her comfortable?
if she is allergic to something, then it might be allergic rhinitis

I've just gotten my X-ray report back and it mentions something about my bronchovascular area. Everything else in the X-ray seems fine. I don't have any cough, haven't been smoking or drinking, and really don't have any bad habits. Can you help me understand what it means? Is this something I should be worried about?
Prominent bronchovascular markings include lung infection, asthma and oneumonia,cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension etc. Tab augmentin 625mg ,orally,twice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.

I'm dealing with TB and have been taking DOTS medicines. I've still got a cough and sometimes find it hard to breathe. The cough seems to get worse whenever I catch a cold. I'm using the government-provided meds, and I noticed a slight improvement, but I'm wondering when the coughing will completely go away. Will it get better once the infection stops? I'm hoping to breathe more easily and be free of this cough. What should I do to help with this situation?
To alleviate your TB symptoms, continue taking your DOTS medicines as prescribed, attend regular follow-up appointments, stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, avoid close contact with others to prevent transmission, and consider wearing a mask to reduce the risk of infection; with adherence to treatment, your cough and breathing difficulties should gradually subside, and you can expect significant improvement within 2-3 months.
