What is meant by pleural-based homogeneous soft tissue opacities? I got my CT scan report, and it mentions two pleural-based homogeneous soft tissue opacities. One is about 44.7mm by 18.3mm in the posterior lateral basal segment and another 55.5mm by 26mm in the posterior and medial basal segment of the right lower lobe. Theres also a smaller one, about 12.5mm by 3.9mm in the superior segment of the left lower lobe. The report says there's no calcification or lucent areas in the masses, and no hilar lymphadenopathy or pleural effusion, thickening, or calcification. Could you help me understand what all this means?

I've been dealing with some breathing problems lately and I'm worried. My ESR value is 70 and my WBC count is 14,000. I noticed when I used medication for a while, it seemed to help a bit, but now the issue is coming back. Are there any natural remedies or specific foods I should try? And do you have any idea why this might be happening?

I'm dealing with a cold and cough that just won't go away. Every time I come into contact with dust, my nose gets all irritated, and the cold seems to flare up again. It's particularly tough during the winter; sometimes it feels hard to breathe because of the heavy cold. Should I be worried about this recurring issue, and is there something specific I can do to feel better?

you might be allergic to dust and cold

I'm having trouble breathing and feel like I'm half yawning a lot for the past three days. I had corona about a month ago but don't have any symptoms of it now. I'm just yawning continuously, even after sleeping for 12 hours. I'm really worried and can't figure out what's going on. Can anyone help guide me?
