I recently got an HRCT scan done for a surgery, and the report mentioned a small fibrotic patch in the middle lobe close to the oblique fissure. The rest of the HRCT of my chest is basically normal with no signs of viral pneumonia. But I'm pretty worried about this fibrotic patch. I dont have any bad habits or anything like that. Should I be concerned about this?

What can we do to help my dad feel better? He's 57, retired, and usually manages his asthma well without meds, but recently he had a flare-up after cleaning the house. He's been using an Asthalin inhaler a bit more, but now on the fourth day, he still wheezes when breathing in and out and seems a bit uncomfortable. Any advice on what could help his symptoms?

kindly continue the treatment,it takes time to relive symptoms

I'm wondering how long a fever might last when you're going through tuberculosis treatment. Is it normal to have a fever for a while, and how severe can it get? At what point should I expect the fever to stop?

Fever during tuberculosis treatment can occur, especially in the initial phase, as your body adjusts to the medication. Typically, it should subside within a few weeks of starting the treatment. If the fever persists beyond that, it's important to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my Bronco pneumonia. I've had it since I was a kid, and I've heard different things from different doctors. Some say it's due to allergies and might get better with time, while others feel the weather where I live isnt right for me. I even moved to see if that would help, but I'm still having asthma problems. Anytime I get a little cold, the coughing starts and my asthma flares up. I've been using Asthalin to manage it. Do I have to live with this for the rest of my life? Is there anything else I could try or look into?

if you have symptoms,yes you should take
