My relative has been experiencing severe back pain for the past three days and the doctor suggested an HRCT scan to check for Covid-19. The results showed a few parenchymal fibrotic bands, but everything else looks normal. I'm quite concerned about what this could mean. Could you give us some advice on what steps we should take next, or if theres anything specific we should be cautious about?

View allI've been dealing with a cough, cold, and throat infection for the past two weeks. I've already taken azithromycin 500, Montair LC, Omnacortil 10, and Joshina syrup, but I'm not seeing much improvement. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?
Waiting for test results can be anxiety-provoking. Swollen lymph nodes can have various causes, ranging from benign to serious. Common causes include infections, allergic reactions, or inflammation. In many cases, swollen lymph nodes resolve on their own. Try to manage your anxiety by: - Practicing relaxation techniques (deep breathing, meditation) - Staying occupied with daily activities - Avoiding excessive worry or speculation Your GP will discuss the test results and provide guidance on the next steps.

I've just gotten over a really bad cold that lasted all week, and now I'm noticing that whenever I breathe in, it feels like I'm inhaling really cold air, which makes me cough. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm a 23-year-old guy and I've been dealing with a dry cough for over two weeks now, and I'm really not sure what I should do next. For the last five days, I've been taking a spoon of Benadryl before bed, and while it seems to help with the cough for the first half of the next day, it comes back around 3 PM. I've also tried putting eucalyptus oil and Vicks on my chest at night, but I haven't really noticed much of a difference. Just recently, my mom started giving me this homemade herbal mix that I think has ginger and honey, along with turmeric milk, and it seems to be helping somewhat. Generally, I'm pretty active and into sports and running, and I haven't felt any drop in my energy or stamina because of the cough. It's just really starting to get on my nerves and I'm getting a bit worried. Could you share any ideas or solutions for what's going on with me?
It's good to hear that the homemade herbs mixture with ginger, honey, and turmeric milk is providing some relief. To further address your dry cough, I recommend trying Robitussin DM (Dextromethorphan and Guaifenesin) syrup. You can take 10ml of Robitussin DM every 4-6 hours as needed to suppress the cough and help loosen mucus. Additionally, you can continue with the Benadryl at night for its antitussive effects. Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and avoid irritants such as smoke or strong odors. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
