Weve been using amoxicillin for the past 56 days, but the recent x-ray still shows no improvement. Should we consider getting a CT scan? How can we tell if its COVID pneumonia or just regular pneumonia? Are there specific tests to differentiate between the two? Is amoxicillin the only medication we should be taking for either type of pneumonia?

View allI got diagnosed with Tuberculosis in Amritsar and recently moved to Delhi for better treatment. The new doctor here told me to keep taking the red medicine I got from the government hospital in Amritsar. I did another x-ray, and the report says there's still fluid in my lungs, but the doctor mentioned it should dry up on its own. It's been 15 days on this medication, but I'm still having trouble breathing, keep getting fevers, and my chest hurts a lot. Do you think I should consider fluid aspiration?
no, continue the treatment for 4 months then go for next procedure

I'm a bit worried after my recent chest x-ray which showed prominent bronchovascular markings. I've been dealing with allergic bronchitis and I'm wondering if that's the reason behind these markings. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Prominent bronchovascular markings on a chest X-ray can be seen in various conditions, including allergic bronchitis, asthma, and chronic bronchitis; in your case, allergic bronchitis is a likely contributor, but it's essential to follow up with your doctor to monitor symptoms and adjust treatment as needed, and to rule out other potential causes

I've been dealing with this bronchitis and allergy issue for the past nine months and it's really starting to bother me. On top of that, I've had this annoying chest tightness and back pain for the last six months. Do you think these are all connected somehow, or should I be looking at them separately? What could be causing these symptoms, and how can I get some relief?
avoid allergens and take tab avil
