I've been dealing with a cough that I had a couple of months ago, and while it seems to be gone now, I'm still having trouble with persistent mucus. Recently, I've started feeling some chest tightness and alternating mild to moderate pain. Just a few days ago, my throat was also bothering me. I'm really concerned about what's causing all these symptoms, especially during this lockdown. Any advice on what I should do?

View allI'm really concerned because I've had this persistent cough for 25 days now, and it's accompanied by pain on the left side of my chest and a lot of fatigue, but I don't have any fever. I went to a doctor who recommended some tests and here are the results: my ESR is at 48 mm1hr, TEC is 4.17 Cumm, and while my CBC came back normal, my white blood cell count is at 13.9 Thmm3. My Serum Vitamin D3 is pretty low at 20.5 ngml, and I tested negative for Sputum for AFB. I'm not sure what all this means and should I be worried about these results?

Im worried about my mom who was recently diagnosed with IPF or hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Sometimes she experiences a blocked nose and chest tightness, and it makes it hard for her to breathe, although shes stable with her oxygen levels around 98-99%. The doctor suggested Foracort 200 rotacaps for her wheezing, but she doesn't wheeze all the time. She tried taking it once in the morning and once in the evening, but were not sure how often she should be using the Foracort. Is there a recommended routine for this, and can we use a nebulizer to help with her nasal blockage? Would an inhaler be a better option for these symptoms? Any advice would be appreciated.
To use rotcaps you might be give rotahaler,that comes with a user manual follow the guidelines and use it accordingly.

I've recently been diagnosed with bronchitis and had this persistent cough with thick phlegm. The doctor gave me some meds, and I'm feeling better now, but he suggested doing a PFT test if possible. Now, I'm wondering if it makes sense to just do the PFT test on its own, or should I also get a chest X-ray with it? Or maybe a CT scan of the chest would give clearer results? I'd love some guidance on what's best to do next.
Chest x-ray with pft is advised to the patient.
