I've been having this dry cough issue but it's weird because it only kicks in at night when I'm sleeping deeply. Do you have any syrup suggestions that could help with this? Also, I've noticed a strange sound when I breathe at night. Any idea what's going on?

I've been dealing with asthma for the past 10 years and started using a medicine called Salbair I about a year ago. I've been taking it regularly and I'm worried if that's harmful. Should I stop using it, or what should I do instead? How risky is this medicine for me?

Patient is advised to continue same treatment.

I recently tested positive for COVID-19 but now I'm negative. I only had mild symptoms and my oxygen saturation levels are normal. Should I still go ahead with an HRCT? I'm not sure if it's necessary. Can you help clarify this for me?

I recently had a TB test and the results mentioned something called "tenting of the left hemidiaphragm." I'm curious and a bit worried about what might have caused this. Is it something serious, and could it be a sign of TB?

Tenting of the left hemidiaphragm can be caused by various factors such as inflammation, injury, or infection. While it may not directly indicate tuberculosis (TB), it could suggest other conditions affecting the diaphragm. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation to determine the cause.
