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?

View allHey, I got my x-ray results back and it mentions "bronchovascular marking prominent." I'm a bit concerned and not sure what that means. Could you help me understand what might be going on or if it's something I should worry about?
The prominent bronchovascular marking seen in your x-ray report indicates increased markings of the blood vessels and bronchial tubes in your lungs. This can be a normal finding or may indicate conditions such as infection, inflammation, or fluid accumulation in the lungs. To provide a specific recommendation, it is important to determine the underlying cause of the prominent bronchovascular marking. I recommend further evaluation by a healthcare professional, such as a pulmonologist, who may suggest additional tests or imaging studies to make a definitive diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter cough suppressants like Dextromethorphan (e.g., Robitussin) to help with any associated cough. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the package.

My dad's oxygen levels keep going up and down between 94 and 97. It seems to drop lower after he eats dinner, but its usually higher around noon. He has asthma. I'm really worried and I'm wondering what we can do to help increase his oxygen levels. Would you advise taking steam or doing yoga exercises like Anulom Vilom given that he uses a nebulizer, though he doesnt always use it regularly? Any suggestions would be great!

I'm dealing with a cough that's been lingering for about two months now. My blood report came back normal, but my chest X-ray showed a white circle near my heart. Could you help me understand what this might be?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
