Question 1

I've been dealing with some chest pain and discomfort since I had COVID back in late April. I tested negative by early May, but about 10 days later, I started feeling pain in both my lungs and back. I talked to my doctor about it and they had me take antibiotics, but that didn't really help. Now, the pain is mostly on the left side and stretches up to my neck. I tried painkillers for five days and that gave me a little relief, but the pain comes back once I stop the medicine. I also had an online chat with a pulmonologist in June and they suggested Chymoral Plus for a week, saying not to worry too much. My CT scan severity index was 525 in early May. I'm just wondering what steps I should take now for better results. Could you offer some advice?

Accepted Answer

start some respiratory exercises and yoga. if still symptoms Persists consult a pulmonologist

Question 2

I'm a bit worried about my mom. The doctor gave her Montair LC 001 and Pan D100 for her mild dry cough she mainly gets when she's talking. It's been going on for like 1620 days, but she doesn't have any other cold symptoms, and there are no signs of asthma or acidity issues. I'm concerned that after 15 days of taking these meds, could she be at risk of an asthma attack or acidity problems in the future? I'm also wondering if instead of these medications, would using Strepsils lozenges and the Piriton CS cough suppressant give her some relief? What would you suggest?

Accepted Answer

try using allegra m

Question 3

I'm trying to wrap my head around this whole smoker's cough thing. I quit smoking about a month ago, but now I'm dealing with this annoying cough, some wheezing, and it's slightly hard to breathe sometimes. Any idea how long these symptoms will stick around? Are there any home remedies I can try, or do I need to go for medication? I was at 12 cigarettes a day for 12 years, so I'm kind of worried. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

first stop smoking, take treatment

continue the inhaler if symptoms exacerbated
