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?

  1. Subcentimetric Lymph Nodes:

    • Generally, subcentimetric lymph nodes in the thorax are not immediately concerning, especially if there are no other abnormal findings or symptoms.
  2. Breathing Issues:

    • The breathing problem related to the arytenoid affecting the vocal cord should be evaluated by an ENT specialist. This is likely the primary cause of your symptoms.
  3. Recommendations:

    • Follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor the lymph nodes.
    • Consult an ENT specialist for further assessment and management of the arytenoid issue.

I'm experiencing some concerning symptoms after being prescribed certain medicines for my breathing issues and high IGE levels. I've been taking Omnacortil, starting at 40 mg and tapering down, but after finishing the 30 mg dose yesterday, I decided not to take it today because I've been having blurred vision, confusion, and feeling really weak. I've also stopped taking Histafree M two days ago, and I finished my course of L Cin 500. The only thing I'm still taking is Zincovit. Could these symptoms be caused by the medication, or is there something else going on? I'm really worried and would love some advice.

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been having some issues with my breathing, and it feels like I'm choking when I cough. This has been going on for the past week. Before this, I'd been dealing with a cough for about 10 days. I'm taking medication prescribed by my doctor, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What could be going on, and should I be doing something different to get relief?

Take amoxclav 625 mg BD for 5 days , sinarets tab for 5 days and syrup ascoril 5ml trice a day
