Question

My dad has a really bad cold and cough, and the doctor recommended surgery based on his CT scan report. I'm a bit worried and wanted to get a second opinion can you take a look at the scan results and let me know if surgery is really necessary?

Question

I've been struggling with something, and I hope you can help. About three months ago, I had pneumonia, but I'm fully cured now. However, just after we had a wash in the house a couple of weeks ago, I've developed a cough that's just not letting go. It's been tough to get any sleep because of it. Also, I'm diabetic, so I'm a bit worried about how this might affect my health. What can I do about this? Would love to hear your advice.

Question

I've been dealing with breathing issues for the past year or so, and it seems to hit every 3 to 4 months. It's really distressing because when it starts, I'm up all night struggling to breathe and I just can't figure out what's causing it. What can I do or take in an emergency to help with this?

Question

I've been dealing with a breathing issue for the past three months. I can breathe fine through my nose, but when I try using my mouth, it's like I can't get a full breath, and sometimes I feel a pain in my chest. It's been worrying me. Could there be something going on with my lungs or chest that I should get checked out?
