My dad's been having some breathing troubles for almost three years now. He's got this heavy feeling in his chest, a dry cough, and it gets really bad with heavy breathing at night. We're pretty worried. Can you give us some advice on what might be happening with him and what we should do next?

View allI'm worried about my right cp lungs being blunted. I've had a cough for the last 30 days. Can you recommend a good medication for this?
A blunted right CP lung could indicate some underlying condition, like pleural effusion or lung inflammation. Given your persistent cough for 30 days, it's important to consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. Medications like antibiotics or inhalers may be prescribed based on the diagnosis, but a proper assessment is needed to determine the right treatment.

I'm really worried because I've been having some trouble with my breathing and caught a cold, so my doctor had me get a CT scan. It says "no significant abnormality detected," but Im still feeling off. Can you help me understand what might be going on? Could there be something else causing my symptoms that's not showing up on the scan?
probably you might have high cough or increased sputum ,to rule out some respiratory causes they would have taken CT scan

I've got a bit of a concern and would love some insight. So, around 15 years ago, I dealt with pleural effusion, but everything got sorted out with the treatment, and I haven't really had any lung issues since. Now, I've been told to take Montair for about 4 months because my IGE levels are up and I've got this moderate cough. I'm just wondering if taking Montair might cause any side effects related to the lungs? Is it genuinely safe to keep taking it for about 5 months? Just want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything.
Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) is generally safe for long-term use in managing allergic conditions and cough. Given your history of pleural effusion, it's important to monitor your lung health, but the medication typically does not have direct harmful effects on the lungs. Always follow your doctor's advice and report any unusual symptoms.
