I'm experiencing shortness of breath, but I don't have a fever or a typical coughthough I do get mucus when I manage to cough. I'm curious about what my X-ray report might indicate about these symptoms. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

My husband recently had a lung x-ray as part of his annual checkup, and there are a few things that showed up. I'm a bit concerned because the report mentions broncho vascular markings and mild tenting on the hemidiaphragm. A while back, like 17 years ago, he had a pneumothorax and needed surgery to fix it with a thoracotomy. He's not having any breathing issues or other symptoms now, but should we be worried about these x-ray results? Do you think its necessary for us to see a pulmonologist? Would really appreciate your guidance on this.

My mom got over COVID about a month and a half ago, but her oxygen level is still around 93-95. Should I be worried about this? Do you think I should get her checked by a pulmonologist, or is there a chance she'll just get better on her own in the next couple of months? Before COVID, she had some dust allergies and would often cough, vomit, and sometimes have trouble breathing when going up stairs. What do you suggest I do?

I've been non-stop coughing for three days now and the longest I can go without coughing is just a minute or two. There's a lot of phlegm and it's painful when I take deep breaths. I've already tried using my rescue inhaler and the nebulizer, but I'm still coughing a lot and wheezing. What could be going on, and what else can I do?

continue nebulization and take cough syrup ascoril twice a day
