I'm having some trouble with my breathing and I already tried the pantosec d gas tablet that my doctor recommended. I also saw a pulmonologist, had a chest X-ray and an ECG, and both came out normal. There didn't seem to be any problems, so no meds were given. Do you think I might still need any medication or other tests?

I've recently been diagnosed with bronchitis and had this persistent cough with thick phlegm. The doctor gave me some meds, and I'm feeling better now, but he suggested doing a PFT test if possible. Now, I'm wondering if it makes sense to just do the PFT test on its own, or should I also get a chest X-ray with it? Or maybe a CT scan of the chest would give clearer results? I'd love some guidance on what's best to do next.

Chest x-ray with pft is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with a cough that started a couple of months ago after I had a cold. I went to the clinic and got some medicine, but the cough stayed, and theres been this weird sound coming from my chest. I visited the doctor again about two weeks ago, and he mentioned it was an infection and gave me syrup and some pills, but it hasn't cleared up. After eating meals, I notice white mucus fills my chest, and I have to cough it up right after eating. Plus, when I play football for about an hour, the cough kicks in, and I start feeling really fatigued. What's going on here, and how can I get back to feeling healthy again?

Probable diagnosis is upper respiratory tract infection.Patient is advised tab augmentin 625mg orally,thrice dailly for 5 days,tab levocetrizine 10 mg for 5 days and syrup salbutoml 10 ml thrice dailly for 5 days.

I've been dealing with shortness of breath for a couple of months now, and I constantly feel pain on the right side of my chest. I had a spirometry test and a chest x-ray, but everything came back normal. The doctor mentioned something about hyperreactive airways. What does that mean, and is there anything else I should be worried about or look into?
