I'm really concerned about my momshe's 64 and dealing with CKD stage 2. We've just found out she has post-COVID fibrosis. Is there any way to cure or reverse it? And are there specific anti-fibrotic meds she can eat? What kind of symptoms should we be on the lookout for? Please let me know.

I'm trying to cut down on smoking and I've heard that vaping and e-cigarettes might be a better option since they don't have tar. I'm curious if they really are a bit less harmful and if it's possible to gradually reduce the number of puffs too. I've noticed there's not much information out there. What do you think about this?

I'm experiencing some weird symptoms like instant foaming saliva in my mouth, and sometimes my breath just stops right before I fall asleep. I'm a bit worried and can't figure out what might be causing this. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Hey, so about two weeks ago I had a fever and then got hit with a cough and cold. Even some sputum was coming up. The fever's gone now and I'm feeling better, but the cough is still sticking around, though it's not as bad as last week. There's still some sputum, but not too much. But what's got me concerned is that when I cough, I hear like this bell sound coming from inside my lungs. Any ideas on what this could be or what I should do?
