I've got this horrible chest congestion, and coughing is just unbearable because my whole chest hurts. Plus, there's this wheezing sound like a lion's roar every time I exhale. This all started after I decided to run for about five minutes, and it was my first attempt after nearly three months. I used to smoke but quit a year ago. I'm really worried about what's happening. Could you help me understand this?

I'm really concerned about my friend who had TB, and he finished his treatment back in February 2017. But just this February 2018, he got a chest x-ray, and it showed some issues. We have the x-ray report, but we're not sure what it means or what to do next. Could you help us understand the report and suggest any treatments?

Sputum for AFB,microscopy, x-ray chest pa view,complete blood count,esr and pulmonary function tests are advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my dad's CT HRCT report since he's 50 today, and I just don't fully understand it. The findings say things like "pulmonary interstitium is normal bilaterally," and theres no "nodular shadowing" or "ground glass haze." The report also mentions the "peribronchovascular tissue is unremarkable," which sounds like a good thing, but Im not sure. Plus, it says no "pleural effusion" or "calcification" is seen, and the "cardiovascular markings are of normal caliber." The impression just says "normal study." Does this mean everythings okay, and theres really nothing to worry about? Could you explain it so I can be sure Im understanding this right?

need not worry , its normal

My aunt's been dealing with this persistent cough for such a long time, and it just seems to be getting worse. We've tried all sorts of treatments, both allopathy and homeopathy, but nothing's really helping. It's pretty concerning. What should we do? Is there a specific treatment approach we should consider to actually get to the root of this problem?

take syrup ascoril twice a day
