I'm a bit worried because last week I started having watery eyes and sneezing, but no cough at that time. The sneezing and watery eyes stopped a couple of days ago, and now I've developed a cough. The thing is, it's not like a regular coughit's neither wet nor dry, and it doesnt happen all the time. My oxygen levels are usually around 98, but they've dropped to 96, 97, and 96. When I lie down, it even goes to 93, 94, and 95. Should I consider getting an X-ray? Also, I have a history of GERD problems. What do you suggest?

I've been told I have a prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular marking in both of my lungs. I'm really curious about what that means for my health and what steps I should take next. Can you help explain these terms and suggest what should be done about this?

A prominent hilar shadow and bronchovascular markings on both lungs can indicate inflammation or changes in the lung structures. It's important to follow up with a chest X-ray or CT scan and consult a pulmonologist for a comprehensive evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions such as infections or lung disease.

I've just started taking Akurit 4 tablets for mild TB, and I've noticed that my urine has turned orange since this morning. Is this something that usually happens, or should I be really concerned about it? I'm feeling a bit anxious and would love to get some clarity on this.

If the orange-colored urine is your only concern, there is no need to worryit is a common, non-threatening side effect. However, always feel free to consult your doctor if you feel unsure or develop additional symptoms.

I've been struggling with something, and I hope you can help. About three months ago, I had pneumonia, but I'm fully cured now. However, just after we had a wash in the house a couple of weeks ago, I've developed a cough that's just not letting go. It's been tough to get any sleep because of it. Also, I'm diabetic, so I'm a bit worried about how this might affect my health. What can I do about this? Would love to hear your advice.
