Questions & Answers on "Tuberculous And Chest Diseases Specialist" (404)

Recently I have been diagnosed with pleural thickening RT CP in x-ray

Male | 25

Pleural fibrosis results in thickening of the lungs lining and further development of breath problems and other symptoms. It may occur as a result of several different things like being exposed to asbestos or being infected by a certain bacterium or virus. I will recommend you see a pulmonodigist who can assess the exact condition and recommend a proper treatment plan.

Hi, my fiancee having lungs nodules 4.4 × 3.5 cm in size, are these nodules are cancerous?

Female | 30 years

Lung nodules can arise from various causes, including infections, inflammation, or benign growths, not just cancer. Symptoms may not always be present, making it essential to monitor any changes in health. The best course of action is to have a thorough evaluation by a pulmonologist. They may recommend imaging tests or a biopsy for a clear diagnosis.

I am 23 years old. I’ve been coughing for the last 3 weeks. Got consulted from doctor last week, diagnosed lung infection. All medications are finished include antibiotics. Currently didn’t take any medication and still coughing. Other symptoms, chest pain and fast breathing.

Female | 23

Based on what you’ve said, your persistent coughing, chest pain, and rapid breathing could point toward a long-term lung infection. In some cases, infections can still linger even after the antibiotics course is completed. Therefore, my advice is that you return to your pulmonologist for a check-up to ensure everything is fine and seek additional treatment if necessary.

I understand you are suffering from COPD with viral pneumonia, anemia, and TCP. Eating smaller meals in addition to cutting down on hot foods could be the best choice for you. Make sure to properly take your medications and drink plenty of fluids. If the problem continues consult a pulmonologist.

My boyfriend (age 27) has had this all day every day hacking/throat clearing cough with mucus since January... I've been begging him since to get it checked. He waited 4 months until April & finally went. Well, the chest x-ray came back clear. But then why is he still coughing?? I'm exhausted of this, not knowing what it is, but hearing it all day every day, anxious beyond belief while he claims he's "fine" when it's not normal.

Male | 27

Even though his chest Xray came back clear, ruling out obvious lung abnormalities or infections. STill other causes like allergies, postnasal drip, GERD, asthma, or chronic bronchitis could still be responsible. Encourage him to follow up with a medical professional for further evaluation and testing to identify the underlying cause of his symptoms. Taking his cough seriously and seeking medical attention is important for appropriate treatment and relief.
