I've been taking antibiotics for a couple of weeks, and I noticed the lung nodule looks smaller in my recent CT scan from last month. Does this mean it's more likely to be benign rather than malignant? And should I continue with antibiotics to see if the nodule disappears completely? Any idea how long that might take?

View allI'm concerned about my 70-year-old mom. She's really sensitive to the cold, and since last week, she's been coughing after showering and sitting under a fast fan. Most of the time, it's a dry cough, but sometimes there's some mucusy spit. She doesn't have a fever, shortness of breath, or feel weak, but I'm worried about whether this needs attention. Should I consider seeing a specialist or doing any tests, especially since she's refusing to visit the doctor? Any advice would really help.
take cough syrup , and avoid cold as much as she can

I'm having some issues with wheezing here in Bangalore. My doctor suggested I take Mon Deslor at night to help. But I'm wondering, if during the day I start feeling uncomfortable because of the wheezing, can I take another dose of Mon Deslor to help with that? I'm also using a puff, so is it okay to combine all this? Just trying to manage this wheezing better.
Mon Deslor is typically taken as prescribed, usually once daily. If you're experiencing wheezing during the day, its better to rely on your prescribed inhaler (puff) for quick relief rather than taking an extra dose of Mon Deslor. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.
