I have been experiencing a painful infection for several months, which my doctor initially thought might be a yeast infection. I was prescribed fluconazole to take every other day for 10 days, but I'm still experiencing pain. I have tried some creams for cuts, but they haven't helped. I have a complex medical history, including critical care for pneumonia, bronchitis, an inflamed heart, COPD, a blood clot, and high blood pressure. What could be causing this persistent infection, and what should I do next?

I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2008. What is the progression of this disease, what is the general prognosis, and are there any emerging therapies or clinical trials I should be aware of?

I've been experiencing wheezing for about 3 or 4 days, following a respiratory ailment with fever and coughing. My fever was 100.1 F and I took Ibuprofen. I have a history of shortness of breath, but heart, allergies, and lungs have been ruled out. Is the wheezing something that will probably go away on its own?

I have severe pain under my left breast, especially when I cough or move, which started a week after a bad cough. The pain is constant but becomes super severe when I cough. I've been healthy, but three weeks ago, I had a coughing episode that led to a brief period of not breathing. I went to Urgent Care, got antibiotics, and my cough improved. However, a week later, I developed this severe pain. Advil is not helping. What could be causing this pain, and what can I do to alleviate it?
