My mom is 65 and she's been dealing with a really bad cough for the past two months. We got an x-ray done, and the doctor said we need to do a CT scan. They found a nodule about 6.7mm by 6.2mm in the upper lobe of her right lung. It's non-calcified, and I'm really worried. Does this mean there's a high chance it could be cancer, or could it be something like bronchitis or pneumonia instead?

I'm dealing with a cold that's been giving me the occasional sneeze and a sore throat, plus sometimes I notice some mucus, which is generally transparent. I'm also experiencing shortness of breath, a heavy feeling in my chest, and generally feeling pretty fatigued. Can you advise me on what might be going on or suggest any steps I should take?

I've been dealing with this annoying dry cough ever since I recovered from a fever and cold last week. It feels like it's coming from deep in the lungs and has a lot of force behind it. I've been taking chericof for three days now, but it hasn't helped at all. I visited a doctor, got an injection, and he prescribed some meds, saying I'd feel better by the next day, but there's been zero relief. It's just this relentless dry coughno fever, body pain, fatigue, appetite issues, or high blood pressure. Do you have any idea what's going on and what I should consider doing next?

I'm in the military and ended up in Germany about a year and a half ago. Running's always been my thing and I've never had issues with it before. But then last August, out of nowhere, I started feeling this sharp chest pain when I was out on a run. At first, it didn't show up until around three miles in, but now I can't even manage a mile without feeling it. I got an inhaler and it worked at the beginning, but now it seems useless. I'm just 22, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas on what this could be or what I should do next?

increase the dose of inhaler and increasethe frequency of using it
