I'm really worried about him. He recently got over COVID but now has this lung infection. His HCRT was at 1525 back in May, but when he got out of the hospital at the end of the month, it was down to 1125. His other tests like CRP and D-dimer seem normal, but he's been having some issues. He gets constipated, and in the mornings, he starts coughing a lot which gets better after he freshens up and burps. Similar thing happens after dinner; he coughs until he belches and then it's like back to normal. He keeps feeling like there's something stuck in his neck. Plus, he's type 2 diabetic, which concerns me. Can you suggest some medication or treatment that might help him?

My mom's been having a tough time with her asthma. Even though she's on medication, it's not really doing the trick. Could you recommend a good doctor for her treatment? I'm really worried because nothing seems to be controlling it.

Hey, I've got a question about my dad's asthma treatment. He's been consistently using the Seroflo 125 inhaler and taking a montelucast tablet every night. We're thinking about adding AB FLO N to help manage his asthma better. How effective might that be and what's the appropriate dosage?

I'm a bit worried about my CT scan results. It mentions a left-sided pleural effusion extending to the infra scapular region, and there's some consolidation in the lower lung. Plus, it says something about the left dome being pulled up. Can you help me understand what all this means? Is it serious?
