I'm really worried about something I just found out. Last year, I was in a car accident, and nobody told me anything about my chest x-ray results. I looked at the report today, and it mentions things like biapical pleural thickening, perihilar interstitial prominence, and mild hyperaeration. I have no idea what any of this means. I was fine until recently, but now I've started coughing up phlegm, and I get short of breath when I walk up stairs, although it goes away quickly. Other than that, I feel healthy. Can you help ease my mind and tell me what I should do next?

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms lately. I have a history of allergic asthma, and I've noticed that when I inhale strong perfumes, it triggers a cold and a dry cough. I work outdoors a lot and have been using hand sanitizer frequently. For about a month now, I've noticed bloody mucus in my throat, which I end up swallowing, and it leaves a metallic taste. When I took a rapid corona test, it came out negative, although when they took the nasal swab, there was some blood on the stick. I don't have any other symptoms, but when I don't sleep well, I have a mild dry cough. I even tried antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. Could this be related to inhaling the sanitizer while rubbing it on my hands? What should I do about it? What remedies or steps should I take?

Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.

I'm really concerned about something and I was hoping to get some advice. I've been inhaling steam directly from the stove for the last 45 days, about three times a day. Initially, doctors said steam wouldn't cause harm, but now my health is declining. I've even damaged my lungs, and it's been really painful. Could the steam be the reason? I feel like it's affecting me a lot and I'm worried. What should I do?

I'm a bit worried about my dad and wanted to get your opinion. He takes a capsule inhaler every day, and we're wondering if it's safe for him to get the Covaxin vaccine. He doesn't have any past allergies from vaccinations. Does this sound okay?

yes he can take
