Question 1

I've been feeling a bit off lately. My chest feels heavy, so I got an x-ray done. They said everything looked normal except there's something called "hilar prominence" on the right side. I'm a smokercould that be the reason? Is this something I should be worried about? Also, I've noticed it hurts a bit when I shout or laugh. Could that be related?

Accepted Answer

Hilar prominence refers to the enlargement of the lymph nodes or blood vessels near the center of the chest, called the hilum. It's often seen in smokers, but its not necessarily serious. Since your chest X-ray came back normal otherwise, its likely not a major concern. However, if you're experiencing pain when laughing or shouting, its a good idea to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation.

Question 2

I'm having trouble breathing properly and there's always this wheezing in my chest. When I walk, it's hard to catch my breath, and I'm also coughing a lot. I've tried taking azithromycin 500 once and using Dilosyn syrup. Can you suggest something for this constant wheezing? Are there any home remedies that might help? It's really frustrating.

Accepted Answer

start steam inhalation and wear mask in dust

Question 3

I've been taking medication for a month which helped reduce my cough and lower my eosinophil count. But a few days ago, I accidentally drank a glass of cold water, and now my cough is back really badly. My eosinophil count has increased to 498. I'm worried and just wondering what I can do to get back on track and feel better. Any advice on how to manage this?
