I'm having trouble breathing properly, especially taking deep breaths. I've been using doxophylline 650mg sr, but I feel pain in the right side of my chest when I breathe. Sometimes I even have to hold my chest just to manage it. I've tried anxiety meds and something for a chest infection, but I'm still worried. Do you have any idea what could be going on?

I got over a mild case of COVID last month and it lasted about 34 days. However, it's been over two weeks since then, and I'm still getting these bouts of dry coughing. It's not all the time, but it's still happening now and then. There's no cold or runny nose with it. Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?

I've been really worried because my mom used to feed pigeons on her balcony every day, and they pooped there for a whole year. We stopped doing it but now I'm concerned. Could this be why she has lung nodules now? Last year her CT scan only showed fibrosis, but this year there are lung nodules, and the largest is 9mm. Could feeding birds have caused this? I'm really looking for some advice here.

I'm really concerned about my dad's cough. He's had it for about six months now, and it's mostly when he's lying down, but there's no fever. Besides that, he's dealing with high blood pressure, diabetes, and some heart issues. He's been on c furo cv 625 antibiotics for a couple of days, which seems to help a bit, maybe 40 percent better. But what else can we do? Any advice or other medicines you think would help?

Continue the same medicine, that would resolve and visit physician for follow up
