Infect/CF rule out: Based on your findings and imaging studies, I would suggest ruling out an infectious process. You also have allergic symptoms and possibly asthma. In addition, I would suggest a CF sweat test since these can be found in Cystic Fibrosis .While it is unusual at your age to be diagnosed, it can be diagnosed later in adulthood. I would suggest speaking to the anesthesiologist for info as well.
