I've been told that my X-ray shows bilateral prominent hila with prominent bronchovascular markings in both of my lung fields. Is this something I should be worried about? What does it mean for my health? I've also been experiencing shortness of breath for the past 10 days. Could this be related? How can I address these issues?

For a 2-year-old child, the recommended daily intake of Vitamin D3 is 600-800 IU (International Units) per day.

Giving 400 IUmL (1 mLday) is within the safe range.

However, it's essential to monitor your child's Vitamin D levels and adjust the dosage accordingly. Excessive Vitamin D intake can lead to toxicity, causing symptoms like:

Nausea and vomiting

Abdominal pain

Headache

Fatigue

Weakness

To ensure safety:

Consult your pediatrician: Before giving your child any supplements, consult with your pediatrician to determine the best course of action.

Monitor Vitamin D levels: Regularly check your child's Vitamin D levels to avoid over-supplementation.

Follow the recommended dosage: Adhere to the recommended dosage, and avoid exceeding it.

My mom's been dealing with pleural effusion and has been on AKT4 for about a week, but she's been super dizzy and sleepy ever since. I'm not sure why she's feeling so drowsy, and I'm really worried. Could this be a side effect of the medicine or maybe it's not the right fit for her?

I'm a bit confused about how doctors handle a simple common cold. If someone doesn't have any symptoms and hasn't had a chest X-ray, do pulmonologists still do a hands-on assessment of the lungs and thorax without a stethoscope? I'm just curious about what they look for and if that's a normal practice or not.
