I'm really worried about my dad. He was diagnosed with interstitial lung disease about two years ago, and now I'm concerned it might be in an advanced stage. His latest HRCT shows a superimposed infection, and I'm not sure what this means or what we should do next. Can you offer any advice or insights on this situation?

View allI'm really anxious because I've had breathing issues, a cough, and a sore throat for 90 days now. I got tested for Covid three times, and all came back negative, which just adds to my worries. It started suddenly on March 18, and it's not getting any better. Even after testing negative in May, I'm still struggling with breathing problems. This is making me really scared. Can you recommend any medications or advice on what I should do?

I've had TB before back in 2010, but I got through it with treatment. Recently though, I've been experiencing some worrying symptoms. I've got a little chest pain mainly on the right side, there's dry coughing, and it kind of feels like there's a bloody taste in my mouth when I'm trying to get to sleep. There's also some appetite loss going on. Could these be signs of something serious, or am I overthinking it?

I'm 21 and have been dealing with wheezing for the past 5 months. I've seen several doctors and they all mention it's due to mucus build-up. They prescribed me some tablets, and I've completed the course, but it's still not getting better. A few have also mentioned that I have a condition called pigeon chest, and that this could be why recovery is taking so long. I'm really tired of taking meds with no relief. What can I do to actually get better?
Physiotherapy opinion is advised.Also chest arthosis and bracing is advised to the patient.
