I'm really worried about my husband's chest pain. The doctor said it's a lung allergy and put him on a one-month course. But he still feels a tightness in his chest every day, and he's really weak. He's had heart checkups like ECG and BP, and everything seems fine. I'm sharing his reports. Could you help me understand what's going on with him?

I'm really concerned because I recovered from COVID about a month and a half ago, but I've had this persistent cough for the last two months. There's no mucus, flu, or cold symptoms accompanying it. Should I be worried about this lingering cough, and is there something I can do about it?

Tab azithromycin 500mg,orally,once daily for 3 days is advised to the patient.
