I've just had a chest X-ray, and while most of it looks good, there's this one finding that says "tenting of the left diaphragm grade 1.1." What exactly does that mean? Is it something I should be worried about health-wise? Could there be a link to my heart or any other reasons for this? What kind of symptoms should I keep an eye out for?

Based on your symptoms and self-examination, it's possible that you may have:
- Anal fissure
- Sentinel pile (a type of hemorrhoid)
- Anal abscess
Consult a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or a general surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend:
- Digital rectal examination (DRE)
- Anoscopy
- Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, MRI)
In the meantime, consider:
- Increasing fiber intake
- Staying hydrated
- Avoiding straining during bowel movements
- Applying topical creams or ointments (e.g., hydrocortisone) for symptom relief

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He had COVID recently and now the doctor mentioned that he has some kind of fistula in his left lung. I'm not sure what this means for his recovery or his health in general. Could you explain what a fistula in the lung is and how serious it might be? Is it something that happens because of COVID infections, and what kind of treatment should he expect?

I'm really confused about my chest congestion issue I've had for a few years now. It always flares up if I don't take Foracort 200 or Citzen, which were given by my last doctor. One doctor said it's a dust allergy, but another mentioned bronchitis, so I'm not sure which one is right. I just want to find a cure and know what's actually causing this. Can you help me figure this out?
Forocort 200 inhaler sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
