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?

It sounds like you may be experiencing mucus buildup in your throat triggered by fluid intake. This could be related to conditions like acid reflux, allergies, or postnasal drip. Stay hydrated with warm fluids and avoid irritants; if it persists, consider seeing a specialist for further evaluation.

My mom's been dealing with some worrisome health issues lately. She has this cold cough and experiences shortness of breath, especially at night. We found out about some lower fibrotic changes in her left lung, but the HRCT and chest X-ray both came out normal. She's already been given some strong antibiotics, but there hasn't been any noticeable improvement. We're located in Ahmedabad and I'm really unsure about what to do next. Can you provide some guidance or suggestions on how to proceed?
I'm sorry to hear about your mom's struggles. Fibrotic changes can sometimes cause chronic symptoms despite normal imaging. Consider consulting a pulmonologist for further evaluation, possibly for inhalers or anti-inflammatory treatments, and to rule out other causes like asthma or GERD. Stay strongshe's lucky to have your care.

I'm experiencing this weird dry cough situation. Every time I inhale and exhale, especially in the evenings, I cough once or twice. It doesn't really happen during the day. Do you have any idea why this could be happening?
It sounds like you may have a mild form of evening-related bronchospasm or irritation, possibly due to postnasal drip, acid reflux, or early asthma. Try staying hydrated, avoid triggers like cold air or allergens, and consider a checkup if it persists.
