I'm having trouble getting enough oxygen. I've got a cold and I'm coughing up a bit of phlegm, but there's not much of it and its brown. I've also got nodules on my lungs, and the largest one is around 5 cm. Does this sound like something I should be worried about?

I'm really concerned about my wife. She's 32, doesn't smoke, and has had this persistent dry cough for almost a month now. It's like clockworkevery 30 minutes, and the coughing lasts about 4 to 5 seconds. We've already seen a pulmonary specialist. The first time, he prescribed some antibiotics, and then after two weeks, they did an X-ray, which came back normal. The doctor switched up the meds after that. It got slightly better for a bit, but for the last 4 days, the cough has returned, especially when she's lying down. I'm attaching the last prescription we received for reference. Right now, she's only using an inhaler twice a day as the rest of the medication course has ended. Could you give us any advice on what might be happening or what we should do next?

I'm a bit worried about my recent CT report, and I could really use some guidance. It mentions that there's a collapse consolidation in my left lower lobe and some specks of calcification with fibronodular changes. They also found a few confluent nodules and scattered small nodules in both lung fields, plus ground glass opacity in my right lower lobe. The impression notes something about mediastinal lymphadenopathy and a mild pleural infusion on the left. Can someone explain what all these terms mean and what I should be concerned about? Is this indicative of a serious condition or something treatable?
