I recently tested positive for COVID-19 on April 16th and after treatment, I got a negative result on May 8th. However, I'm now experiencing some breathing issues. My average O2 saturation levels are around 97-98. Should I be considering any kind of scan or is there something specific I should be doing?

I'm experiencing a bit of breathing discomfort after taking Ambrolite. I'm also on Ursocol. Could there be a connection between these medications? Should I be concerned about this side effect?

The breathing discomfort after taking Ambrolite (ambroxol) along with Ursocol (ursodeoxycholic acid) may be due to the expectorant properties of Ambrolite, which can temporarily cause throat irritation or coughing
