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'm a bit concerned about this white spot that showed up on my chest x-ray about 25 days ago. It was on my left upper lobe lung area. My doctor had me on antibioticsclindamycin and moxifloxacinfor three weeks, and the spot seems to be getting smaller and less noticeable. I'm wondering if I should keep taking the antibiotics until the spot is completely gone. The doctor said it was a patch from a previous infection. Does this mean it's benign since it's not getting bigger, just shrinking?

no need of continuation of antibiotics. it will heal on its own

I recently did a spirometry test and got FeV1 levels of 107. Is that normal or does it mean I might have a breathing issue? I'm also curious about what kind of breathing problems it could indicate. My oxygen saturation always seems to be around 98%, and after doing a 6-minute walking test, it stayed the same at 98% before and after. Could you help me understand what this might mean?
