Question 1

I'm Chethan and I usually smoke about 2 cigarettes a day. I recently had a bout of cough, so I stopped smoking about 15 days ago, but I'm still dealing with a lot of coughing and some throat pain. I'm just really worried and wondering why it hasn't eased up yet. Could you tell me what's going on or what I should do next?

Question 2

I'm really worried about an infiltrate found in the right upper lobe of my lung and I'm not quite sure what it means. The report mentioned something about small granulomata near the right second rib and the right hilum being slightly retracted upwards. Could this be something serious, and what should I do next?

Question 3

I've been experiencing some light crackling sounds in my right lung base, but only when I lie down stretched out. Even when I hold my breath and push in the central lung area, the crackles tend to come and go. If I shift my position even slightly, they disappear. There's no chest pain, and these crackles are just occasional. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something serious?

Accepted Answer

The light crackles youre experiencing may be related to mild lung congestion or postural changes affecting air flow, which can be common and not usually serious, especially if theres no chest pain or difficulty breathing. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it's a good idea to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

Budesonide 200 inhaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.
