I'm really worried about my 67-year-old mom. She had covid pneumonia and developed post-covid lung fibrosis. The doctors assured us there was no need for concern since she only had a dry cough and no symptoms. A year down the line, we did a routine CT scan and now there's a 3 cm lung mass and multiple nodules up to 9mm in her right lung. Could this be due to the fibrosis she had after covid? I'd really appreciate some guidance on what to do next.

I'm dealing with a cough problem for the past 15 days. I think it started because I've been sleeping in front of a cooler, and now it feels like the cough is stuck in my throat and chest. I've tried drinking turmeric milk, eating chana, having Honitus, and even using ginger and honey, but nothing seems to be helping. The cough just isn't coming out, and now my throat is really starting to hurt. What should I do?

take warm water.

I'm really worried about my mom's chest X-ray results. It mentioned bilateral prominent vascular markings and small calcified hilar nodes, and it suggested some kind of inflammatory etiology. I'm not really sure what all of that means. Could you explain it to me in simpler terms? What should we be looking out for or considering next?

I'm dealing with some annoying allergies that started yesterday, and now whenever I'm in cold air, I can't stop sneezing. I took Allegra last night, and thankfully, the sneezing has lessened today. However, when I cough, I feel a pain in my rib cage. Is this something I should be worried about? For some context, I had a moderate case of COVID about six months ago and my lungs were affected back then.
