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?

Subcentimetric Lymph Nodes:
- Generally, subcentimetric lymph nodes in the thorax are not immediately concerning, especially if there are no other abnormal findings or symptoms.
-
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.
-
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've been dealing with asthma and recently had a chest infection for which I was prescribed prednisone and antibiotics. After finishing the course, I got a sinus infection and tried to manage it without antibiotics, but now I'm back on them. My oxygen levels are at 93, and I've been relying on Ventolin and Symbicort, even increasing the Symbicort when needed. The doctor mentioned there were no signs of issues in my lungs, but I'm still feeling light-headed and short of breath. Should I be worried about this?
Continue all the medications as advised by the dermatologist.

I've been dealing with mediastinal lymph node TB and found out through EBUS FNAC and Genexpert. I'm currently on a 5-month treatment and have gained about 9 kg since starting it. Lately, I've noticed something odd with my cough. I seem to cough around 30 to 40 times a day, but it hits me in these dry cough attacks. It'll start with maybe 7 to 8 back-to-back coughs, then I clear my throat, and it stops. This happens like 3 to 4 times a day. There's no mucus, just throat clearing. But it's strange because it doesn't mess with my sleep or anything. Could this be an allergy or is it something I should be worried about?
allergic , take tab mucinac
