My mom's had these symptoms like fever, cough, cold, and just feeling off for about a week now. The first doctor's tests were kind of inconclusive about whether it was TB or not. So, they sent her to another hospital where they did a bunch of more thorough tests like CT scans and skin tests and said she doesn't have TB. She's feeling better overall, but I'm still worried because she's still coughing. She did have a cough before that usually gets worse in winter and she's quite sensitive to the cold. My family thinks her coughing now is normal, but I'm not so sure. What do you think? Would love your guidance on this!

View allI'm really worried about my uncle, he's 62 and has IHD. He's dealing with this massive left-sided pleural effusion and he's been in Railway hospital Bhaykhala with an ICD in place. We've been seeing a daily output of about 350-400ml of pleural fluid that's yellowish with a slight reddish tinge. The doctors at Tata hospital did two cytology tests for malignant cells and both came back negative. A PET-CT scan showed a small extra pleural nodule about 11x7mm at the pulmonary confluence, needing histopathological correlation, and the SUV max is 4.3. They've tried Augmentin and Magself Cefoperazone, but the fluid output hasn't changed. They've recommended a biopsy of the nodule. I'm just wondering if there are any other treatment options we could consider.

My mom's been having this persistent cough, and even though she saw a doctor who prescribed grillentus cough syrup, it hasn't really helped. I'm getting worried since it's not getting better. Do you have any suggestions for another cough syrup or something else we could try?

I've been feeling a bit breathless since April 13th. It eased up a bit, but then from April 18th, I started getting out of breath even when I'm just resting. I don't have any chest pains or a constant cough, although my cough sometimes sounds deep, and there's a wheezing sound when I take a deep breath. I haven't had any fever or chills either. It's been over a month now, and this breathlessness just isn't going away. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
