I've been taking antibiotics for a couple of weeks, and I noticed the lung nodule looks smaller in my recent CT scan from last month. Does this mean it's more likely to be benign rather than malignant? And should I continue with antibiotics to see if the nodule disappears completely? Any idea how long that might take?

I'm a bit confused about the steam from nebulizers. I recently got the Dr. Trust nebulizer, and it gives off cold steam. Isn't the steam supposed to be hot? The evaporation of the medicine seems to work fine according to the manual, but I'm still concerned if this is normal. Could you help clarify this for me?
For a nebulizer like Dr. Trust, the steam provided should be a fine, cool mist, not hot steam, as cool mist is more comfortable to inhale and helps prevent irritation to the airways, so the cold steam produced by your nebulizer is appropriate and effective for delivering medication.

I'm living in a cold climate, and for the past couple of years, as winter approaches, I've noticed I have this ongoing breathing problem along with a cough that produces phlegm. It seems to linger all winter long. I've tried using some anti-cough syrups, but they haven't really helped much. Do you have any advice on what I should do?
