I'm 20 years old and I've been having chest pain on the right side and shortness of breath for the last 15 days, especially when I breathe deeply. I'm really concerned about what this could mean and how I can recover from this. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

I've been dealing with this persistent cough and was put on levofloxocin 500 mg antibiotics for 5 days, but there was no relief, so they switched me to pulmocef 500. Still, the cough hasnt improved at all. I've been tested for TB, and the results were negative, no fever so far, but I do have shivering hands sometimes. I've attached my CT scan reports for reference. Right now, I'm on Tacrolimus 1.75 BD, Cellcept 750 mcg BD, and wysolone 7.5 mg OD. Is there anything else I should be considering or any thoughts on what might be causing this?

I'm worried because my father has tested positive for COVID-19. We did a CT scan, and it shows CORADS5. He's on medication and in home isolation right now. The thing is, he only has a cough. Does this mean it's a mild symptom, or should I be more concerned? What steps should we be taking?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been having a lot of trouble with my breathing and seem to be coughing all the time. It's becoming a regular thing, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. It feels like a never-ending cycle, and I'm just not sure what's going on. Could this be something serious, or is there something I can do to help ease these symptoms?
