Question

I'm worried about my chest X-ray results and don't really feel satisfied with the explanation I got from my doctor. The report mentions a nonhomogenous patchy opacity in the right apical region with adjacent fibro-bronchiectatic changes, along with a few small calcific densities in the right upper zone. It suggests something about chronic infective etiology. Could you help me understand if this is something serious or if I need to be concerned?

Question

I'm a lifeguard and lately I've been having asthma attacks on days when the allergens are high and it's really hot. This happens even after I use my inhaler, which I do faithfully 30 minutes before my shift starts and again halfway through my 6-hour shift. I've already had two mild attacks and one severe one. The severe attack was so bad that I needed emergency oxygen. What should I do? Is there something more I can be doing to prevent these attacks, especially since I have to work under these conditions?

Question

I'm really concerned about my wife. She's 32, doesn't smoke, and has had this persistent dry cough for almost a month now. It's like clockworkevery 30 minutes, and the coughing lasts about 4 to 5 seconds. We've already seen a pulmonary specialist. The first time, he prescribed some antibiotics, and then after two weeks, they did an X-ray, which came back normal. The doctor switched up the meds after that. It got slightly better for a bit, but for the last 4 days, the cough has returned, especially when she's lying down. I'm attaching the last prescription we received for reference. Right now, she's only using an inhaler twice a day as the rest of the medication course has ended. Could you give us any advice on what might be happening or what we should do next?

Question

I'm 25 and having a bit of a scare here. I've been coughing up this black phlegm, dealing with nasal congestion, and feeling breathless, but it gets a bit better after I cough. I havent smoked ever, and I live in an area with clean air, so Im really confused. What could be going on with me? And what kind of medication should I be considering? Also, I'm not experiencing any cough or fever along with it.
