I'm really confused about my chest congestion issue I've had for a few years now. It always flares up if I don't take Foracort 200 or Citzen, which were given by my last doctor. One doctor said it's a dust allergy, but another mentioned bronchitis, so I'm not sure which one is right. I just want to find a cure and know what's actually causing this. Can you help me figure this out?

View allI've been dealing with some health issues for a while now, and I'm really concerned. So, I had a fever for nearly two weeks starting around mid-April, and the highest it got was 103.5 degrees. It seemed like COVID since I had symptoms like loss of taste and smell, shortness of breath, weakness, and a persistent headache, but my COVID tests came back negative. I ended up in the hospital for a day and a half, and after getting some treatment, my fever went away. But I still can't catch a deep breath; I get winded easily, even with minimal activity. It's been about a month since I was discharged from the hospital, and this issue hasn't improved. What kind of doctor should I see, and what steps can I take to address this? I'm really looking for some guidance on what might be going on.
do covid test once again and start amoxclav tab for 5 days for secondary infections

I'm a bit confused about my medication. I had COVID about a month ago and ended up in the ICU with severe pneumonia for 12 days. Thankfully, I'm home now and feeling healthier, but still having trouble breathing, especially when walking or exercising. My oxygen saturation is around 95-96. My doctor put me on pirfenidone 200 mg, twice a day, and also Foracort 200, twice a day. But I thought pirfenidone was for idiopathic lung fibrosis. Does this mean I might have fibrosis, or is there another reason for prescribing it? I'm really worried about this and would appreciate some insight.
there might be effect of pneumonia as fibrosis,so they might have give tablet perfonidone
