I'm really worried about my sister. She's been dealing with sleep apnea for like 10 years now, and it causes her to wake up suddenly while sleeping, though it only happens once every month or every couple of months. What kind of treatments are available for this, and how can we help her manage or sort this out?

I'm a bit puzzled about something and could use your advice. I've heard that Ayurvedic or organic cigarettes are supposed to be safe, but they still contain smoke. Is there really a difference health-wise, or should I be just as cautious with them as regular cigarettes?

Smoking cessation is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for about a month now, and it's happening all day long. It's really frustrating because nothing seems to be working. Could it be due to allergies? What should I do?

I'm really worried about my lungs. I had basal pneumonia with findings of hyperinflated lungs and some hazy densities in the right lower lung. Ive been on cefpodoxime 200mg twice a day for 10 days. My doctor said in the follow-up that the pneumonia is resolved, but Im still concerned. Does this mean my lungs are back to normal, or should I be worried about any lingering effects?
