Question 1

I've been told that my X-ray shows bilateral prominent hila with prominent bronchovascular markings in both of my lung fields. Is this something I should be worried about? What does it mean for my health? I've also been experiencing shortness of breath for the past 10 days. Could this be related? How can I address these issues?

For a 2-year-old child, the recommended daily intake of Vitamin D3 is 600-800 IU (International Units) per day.

_Giving 400 IUmL (1 mLday) is within the safe range_.

However, it's essential to monitor your child's Vitamin D levels and adjust the dosage accordingly. Excessive Vitamin D intake can lead to toxicity, causing symptoms like:

1. Nausea and vomiting
2. Abdominal pain
3. Headache
4. Fatigue
5. Weakness

To ensure safety:

1. _Consult your pediatrician_: Before giving your child any supplements, consult with your pediatrician to determine the best course of action.
2. _Monitor Vitamin D levels_: Regularly check your child's Vitamin D levels to avoid over-supplementation.
3. _Follow the recommended dosage_: Adhere to the recommended dosage, and avoid exceeding it.

Question 2

I'm really worried about my wheezing problem that I've had since I was a 6-month-old baby. My parents took me to various consultants trying to fix it, but nothing really worked. The last doctor I saw was Dr. Raju at Raju hospitals. He ran some tests and suggested I use Cipla Inhalers. So, I've been using CIPLA ROTOCAPS Seroflo 100 for almost 15 years now. I'm scared that if these inhalers are ever unavailable, I won't make it past a week. Recently, my wheezing got really bad because I've been traveling a lot and the cold weather doesn't help, even though I'm based in Chennai. I'm just wondering, should I keep using Seroflo 100 rotocaps or consider other medicines to finally get rid of this wheezing for good?

The CT scan showed these ground glass opacities in his lungs, and he's taking pirfenidone, along with formonide and combimiat. What should we expect next? Is there anything else we can do to help improve his condition?
