I've just got my health check-up done, and while most things are in the normal range, my eosinophils count is a bit high at 11.6. I've started taking banocide tablets for the past couple of days. Lately, I've begun feeling a little uneasy when I breathe. I did an ECG and chest X-ray, and those came back normal. Do you think the banocide will help with the breathing issue, or should I be looking into other medication?

I'm really worried about my dad who's 86 and has chronic bronchitis. Right now, he's having some trouble breathing because there's fluid building up in his lungs. Can you suggest any good clinics where we can go to have this fluid drained? I'm just trying to find the best way to help him out.

I'm really confused about the treatment I got for my chest issues. I had TB back in 2013, and though I don't smoke a lot, I've been smoking occasionally for about 1.5 years. Lately, I've noticed some blood with my morning cough over the last couple of months. I went to AIIMS, got all the tests doneDOTS, blood reports, HRCT Chest, and X-ray reportsand the doctor said everything was fine. They only prescribed me some painkillers and vitamins for my chest pain. But I can't help but worry if my occasional smoking might have been overlooked. Could that be the case, or am I overthinking it? Would love some clarity on this.

it is okay
