What can you make of my mom's recent X-ray? She's 60, and after testing positive for COVID antibodies 18 days after her first symptoms, the new X-ray shows some prominent bronchovascular markings with a patchy non-homogeneous opacity in the left lower zone. It also mentions something about a bulky right hilum with calcified lymph nodes. Should I be worried about these findings?

View allI'm having some trouble with my breathing and was wondering if it's okay to use a Duolin inhaler. Are there any home remedies you could suggest for a slight breathing issue?
Duolin inhaler is typically prescribed for conditions like asthma or COPD, and should only be used under a doctor's guidance. For mild breathing problems, you can try inhaling steam, staying hydrated, and using a humidifier. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I'm a smoker who has quit recently, and I'm really interested in knowing how I can clean my lungs now. Could you tell me where I might be able to get this done and what the costs might look like? Also, if you could explain a little about the procedure, that would be great.
Hi, it's great that you've quit smoking! To help clean your lungs, you can undergo a treatment called pulmonary rehabilitation, which includes breathing exercises, exercise therapy, and sometimes medications. The cost can vary depending on your location and the clinic, but it typically ranges from 1,500 to 5,000 per session. It's always best to consult a pulmonologist to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.

I've been trying to shake off a chest congestion issue that popped up about ten days after I recovered from COVID. My symptoms were pretty mild initially, and I got through it while isolating at home. But now, I'm dealing with this annoying chest noise when I breathe, and it's making me cough. What's weird is that this didn't happen at all when I was still positive for COVID. I was taking MucidayN daily for about 23 days, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. Is there another medication you think might work better, or should I just keep going with MucidayN? Any advice would be appreciated!
take tablet mucinac for 5 days, twice a day
