A member asked:

Mom has been coughing continuously she had lung collapse got ct scan an xray no mass growth found she also has thyroid and her diaphragm is elevated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pulmonologist!: Hi. Is it safe to assume her pneumothorax has been treated? I assume so. It sounds like she's had the phrenic nerve damaged on the side with the paralyzed diaphragm. Coughing can be a result of many things. She needs a good pulmonologist to help her!
