I'm a bit worried because I've had pleural effusion in my right lung and got it tapped. I've been on treatment for it since May, starting with AKT4 for the first two months and then switching to AKT2 for the next four. It's been four months now, but I still feel a sharp pain in my right lung when I sneeze, hiccup, or yawn. Is this something I should be concerned about? Also, I haven't lost any weight; in fact, I've gained 5 kg since May and weigh 61 kg now. Any advice on what might be going on?

View allMy cough's been lingering ever since I had COVID three months ago. It comes with mucus and now isn't going away. I've tried antibiotics, anti-allergic meds, and syrups, which seemed to work while I was taking them, but the cough just keeps coming back once I stop. I've had tests like chest X-rays and RTPCRs, and everything looks fine, so that's a relief, but the cough is driving me nuts. I've been prescribed a bunch of medications like Augmentin, Levomac, and Montemac, but I don't see much improvement. I'm beginning to wonder if this is normal. Could it be some kind of long-term COVID effect or allergy issue? I'm really looking for some guidance on what steps to take next.
Yes,continue all the medications as advised by the physician.
