My grandad's legs have gotten swollen after a long night journey. He's got COPD and his doctor prescribed him ZYTANIX 2.5 mg, but we're unsure when he should be taking this tablet. Could you let us know the best time for him to take it?

I'm really worried about my lungs. I had basal pneumonia with findings of hyperinflated lungs and some hazy densities in the right lower lung. Ive been on cefpodoxime 200mg twice a day for 10 days. My doctor said in the follow-up that the pneumonia is resolved, but Im still concerned. Does this mean my lungs are back to normal, or should I be worried about any lingering effects?

My dad is 55 and he's been having shortness of breath. We saw a cardiologist, and they said his heart is fine. I've got his chest X-ray report here. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything we should be concerned about?

Cardiologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm having some trouble after using Kala hit spray on my balcony; I might've used too much. Ever since then, I've been having breathing problems and discomfort. I saw a cardiologist who ran several tests, like hemoglobin, thyroid, chest x-ray, and echo, but they all came back fine. Even with that, I'm still feeling uneasy and it's hard to breathe. What should I do?

Normal,nothing to worry ok.
