My wife is six months pregnant and she's been struggling with a persistent cough and cold since her first month. We've been seeing her gynecologist regularly and they've given us some medicine, but it only offers temporary relief. Recently, the gynecologist advised us to consult a pulmonologist. I'm just concerned and wondering if it's safe for her to take allergy medication at this stage of her pregnancy. Any recommendations on what kind of treatment the pulmonologist might suggest?

View allI'm really worried about my brother. About twenty days ago, he started having chest congestion and trouble breathing. We took him to a physician who gave him an x-ray, an inhaler, and Montelukast. He seemed okay at first, but then on the third day, the symptoms came back. We rushed him to the hospital and he was admitted for suspected COVID-19 because of his cough and sneezing, but all his tests came back negative, and they discharged him when his x-ray seemed fine. Now, he's feeling that breathlessness again, along with this acid-like feeling in his lungs and stomach causing chest congestion. Could this be because of anxiety? His heart rate shoots up when he feels this way. We're really struggling because there's no specialist around here since we're in a red zone. What could we do to help him? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm not sure what to doshould we continue with the monocortil or try something else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a bit worried about my recent CT report, and I could really use some guidance. It mentions that there's a collapse consolidation in my left lower lobe and some specks of calcification with fibronodular changes. They also found a few confluent nodules and scattered small nodules in both lung fields, plus ground glass opacity in my right lower lobe. The impression notes something about mediastinal lymphadenopathy and a mild pleural infusion on the left. Can someone explain what all these terms mean and what I should be concerned about? Is this indicative of a serious condition or something treatable?
