My mom's dealing with ILD NSIP, and while she's on allopathic treatment, her symptoms like severe dry cough and shortness of breath haven't improved much. I'm wondering if there's any hope with homeopathy. Can you shed some light on this?

Question

I'm really stressed about this old tuberculosis scar I have. It's seriously causing issues with visa applications, especially in the UAE. Are there any medications or antibiotics that can actually get rid of it? If not, what other options do I have to bypass this hurdle and still secure the visa?

Question

I'm a bit worriedI've taken my mom, who's 61, to the hospital for some stomach issues. The doctor there suggested a CT scan of her chest and abdomen, and she ended up with a CORADS 4 result. Then they did an RT-PCR test, but that came back negative for COVID-19. She doesn't show any symptoms like cough, cold, or fever. Today, they went ahead with a chest X-ray, and now they're saying she has increased bronchovascular markings. Could you explain what that means? Does it suggest she might have COVID, even if the test was negative?

Question

I've been dealing with asthma for over 8 years now and my doctor prescribed me a budesonide formoterol inhaler. Things have improved a bit, but I still have to use it, especially in winter. I just got over COVID about two weeks ago, but I've been noticing that if I sleep with the fan on high and no blanket, I get breathing issues because of the cold. This even happens during the summer. I always need a blanket when I sleep. Last night, around 3am, I had a breathing problem and tightness in my chest. My oxygen level was 89, but it went back above 93 after I turned off the fan and used a blanket. During the day, my oxygen is above 95. I'm worried because my oxygen levels drop at night. I've had this issue since I was a child, but back then, I didnt have a way to monitor my SpO2. Is this normal in asthma?
