Question 1

My relative has been experiencing severe back pain for the past three days and the doctor suggested an HRCT scan to check for Covid-19. The results showed a few parenchymal fibrotic bands, but everything else looks normal. I'm quite concerned about what this could mean. Could you give us some advice on what steps we should take next, or if theres anything specific we should be cautious about?

Accepted Answer

it is normal only, if you are having symptoms related to breathing, kindly consult a pulmonologist

Question 2

Can a chest MRI detect lung cancer? I had a contrast chest CT scan, and the reports came back normal, but after a month, I developed a cough and sputum that lasted for two weeks. The coughing stopped, but sometimes I still get gray-colored sputum and feel pain around my lower ribs and shoulder blade. Is this a sign of lung cancer? I looked it up online, and now I'm concerned. Can an MRI better detect if something's wrong? I've attached my CT scan reports.

Accepted Answer

no they are not symptoms of lung cancer specifically

Question 3

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with Asthma for a long time, and on top of that, now he's got this Marbu Sali thing going on for the last three days. He's been using Asthalin rotocaps a lot, like 78 times a day, which sounds like way too much, right? And now he's got a headache too. He doesn't have any bad habits but he just won't go see a doctor. I'm not sure what to do, can you suggest any other options or treatments that might help him?

Accepted Answer

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
