I'm really confused and concerned about this pinkish sputum I've been noticing in the mornings. None of the tests so far have pinpointed what's causing it. My PNS CT scan doesn't show any major sinus issues, and both my chest CT scan and nasal and throat endoscopies came back normal. The only thing they found was some minor erosions in my esophagus during the endoscopy, which got me a grade A diagnosis and some medications. But even with medication, the pinkish sputum hasn't gone away. My doctor mentioned it's unlikely the blood would come from my esophagus to my mouth. I've also done a CBC blood test, and everything looks normal. When this all started, I had mild rhinitis symptoms, and my ENT suggested it might be an allergy, so I took 1 zadonase and nasal spray for a month, but that didn't help either. I'm just at a loss and looking for any advice or insight you might have on this. What else could it be, or what should I consider looking into next?

View allI'm curious and a bit worried about something that's been happening to me recently. I've been dealing with GERD for about four years and have been on medication for it. But over the last three months, I've been experiencing some breathing issues and chest tightness while walking and talking. It's frustrating because I feel the need to take deep, relaxing breaths, but I can't seem to get a full breath or feel any relief from trying. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

I'm really worried about my friend. His oxygen level is around 90 when he's on 2L of support, but it drops to 55 when he tries to sit or do anything active. I know he had corona, and his CT score was 1424 on May 7, 2021. They've given him remdesivir, and he seems to be recovering from the virus, but he's having trouble breathing when the oxygen support is removed. It's been a month since he tested positive for COVID, yet he still needs oxygen. He recently had another CT scan on May 28, and the score is up to 2124. Can you help me understand what's going on with him? Why is he still facing these breathing issues? He's still in the hospital, and we're just really concerned.
his CT score has increased that means his infection is increased. that infection needs to be reduced then only he can be without oxygen support

I'm feeling a bit uneasy again and have a bit of kapham. I was on Azithromycin for four days about two weeks ago, but now I'm taking this Resprilguaiphenesinambroxoltibul syrup, 5ml in the morning and at night, along with cetrizen at night, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm wondering if I can go back to using Azithromycin, and add montelucast along with Levocetirizine? I'm not sure if that's a good mix or if it'll help. Can you advise?
