I'm a 20-year-old student and I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past 10 years. Every April, I struggle with breathlessness and a lot of mucus in my chest, it gets pretty congested. I don't eat anything that would increase mucus, just stick to simple homemade foods, but it keeps happening. I use a nebulizer to help out, but I'm worried if this is something I'm going to have to deal with for life. Do you know if there's any way to cure this or make it better?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's been getting a fever in the evenings for the last 20 to 25 days. It goes up to 101.5 and then seems to come down by morning. Some nights he doesn't have a fever at all and he's just normal. We got an X-ray and it mentioned there's some opacity on the left side. Could you help me understand what might be going on or what this could mean?
it looks like tuberculosis, proceed to test the same

My breathing seems to get really heavy at night, and I've been using Salbair as an inhaler to help. It sometimes results in cough with these thread-like formations. Is it okay to keep using Salbair this way?
It sounds like you're experiencing breathing difficulties at night, and using Salbair (a salbutamol inhaler) can help relieve symptoms of wheezing or shortness of breath. However, if youre noticing persistent symptoms or coughing, its important to consult with a healthcare provider to evaluate your condition, as this could be related to asthma, allergies, or another respiratory issue.

I'm really worried about my mom... She was diagnosed with COVID, and we're now on the 14th day. Luckily, she hasn't had a fever for the last 6 days. Her CT scan on the 5th day showed a 625 score, and she started taking 40 mg of Predmet, which seemed to help with the fever. But now, I'm concerned about her D-dimer levels; they were at 1300 and after 4 injections of 40 mg Enoxaparin, it's down to 1100. I'm just really anxious to know how long it'll take for her D-dimer levels to drop below 500. Is there a typical timeframe for this to happen?
Atleast 3-5 days is advised to the patient.
