I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe for my wife to take Asthakind DX syrup now that she's 27 weeks pregnant. Her pulmonologist included it with some other medications. Should we be concerned about any potential effects on the baby?

I'm really concerned about my recent CT scan report. It's a post-COVID report showing signs of lung fibrosis. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm anxious to know more about the implications and what steps I should take next.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been a bit worried about something. Back in April 2021, when I had Covid, I had an HRCT scan, and they found a small, ill-defined nodule in the superior segment of my right lower lung lobe. I'm 33 and wondering if maybe I should get another HRCT scan soon or wait a bit to check on whats going on with it. What do you recommend?

yes do one more hrct scan.
