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?

View allI've been using duolin respule directly for nebulisation without diluting it for about 15-20 days now. I'm starting to worry if that's okay or if there could be any side effects from not diluting it. Could this be harmful in any way? I'm really unsure about this and could use some guidance.
Taking Duolin respule directly without diluting it for nebulization can lead to potential side effects such as increased heart rate, palpitations, tremors, headache, nervousness, dry mouth, and muscle cramps. It is important to follow the proper instructions for nebulization to ensure the medication is delivered effectively and safely. To dilute Duolin respule for nebulization, you can use normal saline solution.

I've been noticing these black hairstreak-like things in my phlegm and it's freaking me out a bit. Plus, I've got this mild chest discomfort that won't go away. What do you think this could be?
The presence of black streaks in your phlegm, along with mild chest discomfort, could suggest a possible issue with your respiratory system, such as inhaling environmental pollutants or smoke. It's important to consult a healthcare provider to rule out conditions like a respiratory infection, bronchitis, or more serious issues.

I have allergies to dust, pollen, aerosol, rain, and even some dry fruits. It's really frustrating and I'm desperate to find a permanent solution to get rid of this asthma. Could you recommend anything that might help?
