I'm really worried about my younger brother. He's been dealing with a cough and back pain for a few weeks now. He's also having trouble breathing, and it's like it gets better for a while but then comes back. This has been going on for almost 34 weeks. What should I do?

I'm really concerned about my husband. He had COVID back in September 2021, and ever since we're worried about his lungs. He's been taking medication for pulmonary lung fibrosis for the last four months. I'm attaching his recent CT scan of his lungs. Can you tell if there's been any improvement? And how much longer might it take for him to fully recover?

kindly visit near by pulmonologist

I'm a bit worried about something I read in a report: there's something called a "suspicious infiltration" in my right upper lobe. I work full-time, and I'm wondering if that's okay, considering this condition? Should I be concerned about continuing my job as usual?

need to check clinically and let it know

I'm really struggling with this thick mucus at the back of my throat that's been around for about a year now. It just won't clear up no matter what I try. I've had an echo, chest X-ray, endoscopy, and colonoscopy, and everything comes back normal. Even when I use inhalers, the relief only lasts a couple of minutes. Whenever this sticky mucus gets stuck, I feel chest heaviness and have trouble breathing, but my pulmonary function test results are normal. I've had mild bronchitis since I was a kid, and one of the local doctors mentioned it might be cystic fibrosis, but he also said that's pretty unlikely. What could be causing this? I'm attaching pictures of my phlegm too.

.consult a pulmonologist for the same at the earliest
