I'm really worried about my mom who's been diagnosed with pneumonia at St. Luke's E.R. The doctor gave her medication for just 15 days, but she's still struggling with a cough that keeps her up all night and it's affecting her sleep. We're really concerned because she's not allowed to leave the house, and we want to find out if theres a different medication or treatment that might help her. Who can we reach out to for more advice? Would appreciate any guidance!

My aunt's been dealing with this persistent cough for such a long time, and it just seems to be getting worse. We've tried all sorts of treatments, both allopathy and homeopathy, but nothing's really helping. It's pretty concerning. What should we do? Is there a specific treatment approach we should consider to actually get to the root of this problem?

take syrup ascoril twice a day

I'm a bit concerned about my recent chest X-ray results. It's been 3 months since I had COVID, and the scans are showing nodular opacity in both my left and right lung. I'm really anxious about what this might mean. Is it something to worry about? I've been dealing with post-COVID anxiety and experiencing shortness of breath. Would love some insight on this.

I just got my mom's chest X-ray results, and it mentions "small calcified nodules" in her right middle zone and right apical region, and it says something about tuberculosis. I'm really worried. Can you explain what this means? Is it something serious or risky that I should be concerned about? Also, what kind of treatment might be needed for this? I'm pretty stressed and just want to make sure she's okay. Can you help clarify all this for me?

this is sequalea of tuberculosis, kindly visit your pulmonologist and take one opinion
