I've been having this strange cold feeling in my lungs whenever I breathe in cool air, and it's been happening for a few weeks now. It's kind of worrying because my breathing also feels heavy. What could be causing this?

I'm dealing with a dry cough every time it's the rainy season. It's super annoying, and I can't seem to get any relief. Can you suggest anything to help with this persistent cough? It's really getting to me!

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

I'm really concerned about my sister who's been in treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis for a bit now. Her recent x-ray showed 45% damage on her right lung and 15% on the left one. These numbers worry me, and I'm unsure if this is a serious issue. The doctors mentioned lung cavities. Does this mean shes in a risky situation? Also, shes able to sit and walk but gets tired quickly when walking for too long. Shes only 20 years old. Is there any possibility that her lungs can heal and return to their original state? I'm wondering if the damage can be reversed since she's still young.

yes there are chances it can become normal. it takes sometime after completion of treatment

My dad's really struggling with his COPD. He can barely walk 20 meters without having trouble breathing. He's taking Trinose, Montelukast, Acebrophylline, and Finofixodine tablets, plus an inhaler, but it doesnt seem to be helping much. Is there anything else we can try or do for better relief? Its really worrying me.
