I've been having this sharp pain in the right side of my chest whenever I take a deep breath. It just started a couple of days ago and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could this be something serious? Should I be worried about my lung?

I've been on TB medication for nearly two months, but I'm still coughing up blood. Is this something to be worried about? Is it normal to still have these symptoms, or should I be doing something different?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with asthma and is on ipravent and foracort nebulizers every day. Plus, she's got allergies to some meds like the mox group and managing her BP with telma40 and cilacar 10 mg. Her creatine level is at 1.2, so she's on nefrosave. I'm wondering if it's safe for her to get the COVID vaccine. Should she go for Covishield or Covaxin, or is there something else we need to consider given her health situation?

I'm dealing with a dry cough that's been lingering for the past 7 days. I've been taking montair lc and alex cough syrup, and while there's been some relief, it feels like the cough actually gets worse when I'm at home. Is that normal, or is there something else I should be doing to help with this?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.
