I've been having a cold for the last couple of days, and now Im dealing with some breathing issues. My chest feels really dry and kind of congested, like it's hard to breathe and I'm a bit suffocated. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal part of having a cold? What should I do to feel better?

I'm really worried about my sister. Shes been having chest pain and her X-ray came back showing some inhomogeneous opacity in the lower zone. It mentions something about infiltration. Could you explain what this means and what our next steps should be? What can we do to resolve this?
The X-ray report indicating inhomogeneous opacity in the lower zone with infiltration suggests a possible pulmonary infection or inflammation; next steps should include: consulting a pulmonologist or chest specialist, undergoing a CT scan or HRCT for better imaging, and getting blood tests (CBC, ESR, CRP) to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment, which may involve antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or further investigations.

I'm starting to worry about how long Ill need to stay on this medication.

It sounds like you've been managing a chronic respiratory issue for the past five years, using an inhaler and Montair LC tablets to help with symptoms. It's important to continue following your prescribed treatment plan, but if you're noticing any changes or worsening of symptoms, it may be worth discussing with your doctor to adjust your management strategy.
