What should I do if a CT scan shows multiple soft tissue nodules in the lung that are too small for a biopsy, and EBUS isn't an option? Any advice?

Question

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past couple of weeks and it's really starting to worry me. Initially, I had a viral fever about three weeks ago and took some medication which seemed to work, but this cough just won't go away. I tried using Tasq DX syrup for a week but it didn't help, so I switched to Green linctus BM syrup for another week and it hasn't gotten better in fact, it seems to be getting worse. Could you please help me figure out what's going on and what I should do next?

Question

I recently had a chest x-ray and it showed that there are prominence bronchovascular markings. I'm a bit worried about what this means. If I start taking medication, will it help cure this condition?

Question

I'm really worried and feeling quite anxious. I had COVID last month and was doing fine, but now, 15 days into recovery, I've started having a productive cough and some mild pain when I cough. I got an X-ray that showed hilar lymphadenopathy. My oxygen is at 99, blood pressure is normal, and I don't have a fever. I just got my CBC count done and attached the report. I'm terrified about what this might mean. Is this something serious? Will I be okay? Here's the treatment I'm currently on: Monocef O CV, Amcon, Mucinac 600, and today they added Deflacort 6. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?
