Question

I've just gotten over a really bad cold that lasted all week, and now I'm noticing that whenever I breathe in, it feels like I'm inhaling really cold air, which makes me cough. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Question

I'm experiencing this really uncomfortable chest tightness along with some pain in both the lower and upper parts of my right chest. I've also been dealing with sneezing and watery eyes that come with a cough. When I do cough, there's this light yellow mucus with a few greenish pieces. The pain's gotten a bit worse over the past two days, especially when I'm sitting or sleeping on my right side. What could this be?

Question

I'm trying to understand the results of my CT scan. It mentions a "small calcified nodular opacity" in the right middle lobe, which apparently measures 3.7 mm and might be a healed granulomatous lesion. There are also "few subcentimeter sized noncalcified lymph nodes," with the largest one being 9.1 mm in the AP window region. Could you explain what this means and what steps I should take next? I'm a bit worried about these findings.

Question
