I'm worried about this lung nodule they found in my recent scan. If it's related to a tuberculosis infection or cancer, how much would it typically grow in just one month? And what does it mean if the nodule's size stays the same or even gets smaller after a month?

I've been noticing a hissing sound when I inhale, and honestly, it's been happening on and off for about 15 years now. Lately though, like for the last 6 months, it's been popping up way more, like every few days. It's especially noticeable in cooler weather or if I'm around dust, sneezing, laughing really hard, or even when I'm climbing up hills or stairs like to the third floor. It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could you give me some guidance on what might be causing this?

I'm really worried about my dad. About 70 days ago, he had corona and needed oxygen therapy at home because his saturation levels were low. For the past 13 days, he hasn't needed oxygen support, and his spo2 levels have mostly been between 94-97. But sometimes when we check, it shows below 90, though it usually goes back to normal above 94 within a few minutes. We're thinking about returning the oxygen cylinder, but I'm concerned. Is there a chance his levels could drop again, and should I be worried about it?
Continue oxygen therapy and saturated is monitored regularly.
