I'm a bit worried about my breathing sometimes. I had a stent implant about 3 years back and I've noticed that when I catch a cold or have a cough, it becomes hard to breathe. My doctor gave me a few medicationsBudecort 200, Esiflo 250, Tiova, and Leveloinbut I usually just take Budecort 200 whenever I feel it's needed. Is this okay to do, or should I be taking all the prescribed medications regularly?

Yes,continue budecort 200 sos for breathing difficulty.

I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent HRCT thorax report. It mentioned that there are a few subcentimetric lymph nodes in the pre-tracheal and pre-carinal regions, but everything else seems normal. I've been having breathing issues, though my PFT report came back completely normal. It turns out the breathing problem is caused by an arytenoid covering half of my vocal cord. I just need to know, are these subcentimetric lymph nodes something to worry about, or are they considered normal?

not a cause for concern
