I'm really concerned about the cigarette tar in my lungs. How long does it typically take for my body to flush it out? Are there any specific healthy diets or foods that could help speed up the process? I'm trying to make some positive changes and would appreciate any advice!

I've been dealing with a cough for about a month now. I saw a doctor, and my lab results showed it was typhoid. I did the prescribed treatment for a month and stopped, and while I'm not feeling super sick anymore, I'm still not feeling 100% either. I get this occasional deep dry cough a few times a day, and my doctor mentioned it might be allergic bronchiolitis and could stick around for a while. I also feel weak sometimes and have loose motions on occasion. Do you think I should see a doctor again? If so, what kind of specialist would be best? Or is this something that happens after typhoid and will eventually go away on its own? I'm just a bit worried since it's been a month already.

Hey doctor, I've got a few concerns I hope you can help me with. So, I'm a 33-year-old guy weighing 100 kgs, and although I don't have any blood pressure issues, sugar, diabetes, or other conditions, I've been dealing with this COVID-19 thing. Tested positive on May 23 and got admitted on May 25. My CT score was 425 initially and went up to 2040 by June 1, but I was discharged from the hospital on June 7. Lately, I've noticed that my body temperature was 99.6F on both June 21 and 22 at 9 pm, and then it was 99F on June 23. Also, I've been coughing up thick white mucus from my lungs pretty frequently. I'm worriedis this a sign that the virus might still be spreading in my system? Would really appreciate any guidance you can give.

I've been dealing with asthma since I was a kid and used to take Aerocort Rotacap. But a bit ago, my doctor switched me to Formoflo 250 and it's been working well. I'm 22 now, but starting from 2016, I just can't seem to stay healthy. I'm always getting sick, and each time I go to the hospital, the docs keep giving me antibiotics. I'm worried and not sure what my next step should be. Any advice?
