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 allMy dad's been on continuous medication, but he's still having a tough time breathing. He's got COPD, and he was diagnosed with it at the hospital about three months ago. We have oxygen support at home, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I'm really worried about his condition. Is there something more we can do, or any advice you could give on managing this better?

What should a person's oxygen saturation level be in the morning right after waking up? My dad's SPO2 is generally above 92 throughout the day, but it seems to dip to around 87 in the morning. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned?
Its not normal,check his pulmonary functions,it might be falling even more during night soo,visit Pulmonologist for evaluation and follow up.

I'm really concerned about my uncle who is 60 years old. He's been having mild fever on and off and he's also lost some weight recently. I know he has a history of smoking, which worries me more. We got an AFB test, and it came back negative for TB, but his chest CT scan showed some serious stuff. There are a few nodular areas of consolidation in his lungs that have irregular margins and some of them show central necrosis. They also mentioned something about fibrotic pleuroparenchymal bands. The report suggests it might be an infectious process like TB, but they also said we cant rule out cancer without a biopsy. There are also some small nodular lesions in his right upper lobe and left upper lobe, and the CT scan mentioned mediastinal lymphadenopathy, which I've read can be really serious. Could you help me understand what all this means and what steps we should take next?
yes , consult pulmonologist
