Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disorder that occurs when the tissues in the lungs become damaged followed by scarring. Scaring results in the formation of thick and stiff tissue that makes it more difficult for the lungs to expand and relax preventing them from working properly. As pulmonary fibrosis becomes worsens, the patient becomes short of breath in a progressive manner.
Adenotonsillitis is a condition caused due to the inflammation of the tonsils and adenoids.
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality across the world. Early diagnosis of lung cancers based on the initial warning symptoms is considered acritical factor that could reduce the risk of mortality. Hence, there is a need to be aware of the first signs of lung cancer.
Snoring occurs when the air passes through the throat while breathing in our sleep. This results in the vibrations of the relaxed tissues in the throat leading to harsh and irritating sounds that we call snoring.
Bronchial asthma is one of the most common lung diseases. It occurs when the airways become swollen and narrow and are blocked due to the secretion of excess mucus.
Living with COPD is often difficult for patients, especially if the symptoms continue to worsen and they cannot understand why. If dyspnea (shortness of breath) is increasing and the cough is becoming worse or more frequent, some lifestyle changes could help to relieve the symptoms and improve the quality of life of patients.

The infection due to SARS‐CoV‐2 can be confirmed by the positive detection of the presence of the viral RNA in the nasopharyngeal secretions with the help of the specific PCR test. The COVID‐19 infection is often confirmed by the history of epidemiological contact, consistent clinical presentation, and a positive result of the SARS‐CoV‐2 test.
Pneumonia is one of the most common infective conditions affecting the lower respiratory tract. The incidence of pneumonia rises sharply during the winter season. Contrary to the popular belief, flu is not the only infection you need to worry about during winter.
