I'm really struggling with cold and cough that's been going on for quite some time now, and I found out it's actually allergic asthma. I'm thinking about getting a PFT test done. What do you think? Would that help in understanding my condition better?

I've been dealing with a cough for about 10 days now and it just doesn't seem to be getting better. I've already tried some medicine but is there anything else I should be doing or worried about?

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'm looking at my x-ray results and it mentions a fibrolinear opacity in the right upper lung. Does this mean my TB is all clear now?

Ye, healed TB .
