I've recently had an HRCT chest scan and it mentions bilateral minimal pleural effusion and infective etiology with a CO-RADS score of 2. Can you tell me if this is something serious or is it treatable? Also, I've had three head CT scans, two of which were done just two weeks apart back in 2018, and then another HRCT scan plus a few X-rays in 2020two for my chest and one for my throat. I'm kind of worried about whether all these scans could make me prone to cancer or cause any cell damage in the future. I'm a 27-year-old female and this is really concerning to me. What do you think?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm experiencing a cough whenever I'm in air conditioning, whether it's day or night. Even when I'm on an AC bus, my throat gets itchy and the coughing starts. I don't have any nasal congestion or other symptoms, just this persistent cough that's been really bothering me. What could be causing this?

You can try taking a cough suppressant like Delsym (Dextromethorphan) 30mg every 6 hours as needed to help alleviate the cough. Additionally, you can use a humidifier in your room to add moisture to the air and soothe your throat. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
