PET scan shows nodules in lungs

My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in October,2013. Right breast was removed followed by chemotherapy and radition therapy. This entire treatment was done in Vijayawada from October,2013 to July,2014. Now there are no complaints for my mother except cough with flum in the morning after she wakes up. Recently 10 days back, whole body PET CT scan was done. It shows sub centimetre nodules are found in lungs. In 2015, mother got early stage of T.B. In 2016, due to stomach ache , gall bladder was removed. Now we need a guidance in a right direction by a good doctor. Thanks n regards

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Last December 2018, my breathing problem was diagnosed to be COPD. Medicine precribed were 1. AMUCOE-NAC (2) Formoterol Forte (3) AIRz (4) Ascoril Syrup. Amucoe-Nac was precribed for most probably for 30 days. But, I did not it for this long. May use Amucoe Nac for 30 days now as my problem is little aggravated. Being in different place now, I can't consult my earlier physician. Hence, opinion is sought for if I can take it now. If yes, for how many days. How many daily dose should be taken? If once or twice before or after food should it be taken? It afforded much benefit when I used it. Hence, opinion of an doctor is sought for.
