Consult pulmonologis: As sister gets spontaneous pneumothorax, ,she needs complete check up of her lungs by investigation to find out the defect in lung structure or/communication between lung and plura or adjacent structure like food pipe .Consult the pulminologist and get her treated so her lungs do not get collaspsed by recurrent pneumothorax.
