I'm really worried about Manoj Asthana. He's dealing with a serious lung issue and was COVID-positive about ten days ago, but thankfully, his test is negative now. However, he's still needing oxygen support, and his HRCT score is alarmingly high at 24 out of 25. I've attached his chest X-ray and HRCT report. Could you let us know what steps we should take next? We're really anxious about his condition.

My aunt was diagnosed with holes in her lung through a CT scan at SVIMS Tirupati. The doctors said medicines won't fully cure it and surgery could have complications. Is there any other treatment option for this condition? We're really worried and would like to know if consulting you could help.

I recovered from COVID about three months ago and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to get the vaccine now. I've had a wheezing problem for the past decade and use Levolin Rotocaps every day. Could this be an issue with getting vaccinated? I'd really appreciate some advice.

I'm really getting worried because I've had this cough for three weeks now, and sometimes it comes with a fever. I already did a 5-day course of antibiotics, but it hasn't helped at all and the cough is still there. What could be going on, and should I be trying something different?

then do one chest xray
