I'm really worried about my mom. She had COVID and her HRCT score was 825. She took azithromycin, ivermectin, and multivitamin like Limcee for five days, and now she's feeling okay, but she's still testing positive. Does she need any more treatment for her lungs? Do we need to do anything else?

View allI've been really worried about my dad's heavy cough. It's been going on for a while, and whoever sleeps in the same room as him can't get a good night's sleep. We've seen so many doctors, and he's tried all sorts of medicines. Some think it's bronchitis or asthma, while others have just prescribed general cough medicine. Despite trying everything, including rotahealermedicines, nothing seems to work. Could you please suggest what might be wrong or recommend something that could finally help with his cough?
Based on the information provided, it seems like your father's cough is persistent and impacting his quality of life. Since he has already tried various medications without much improvement, I would recommend trying a combination of Montelukast (brand name Singulair) 10mg once daily in the evening and FluticasoneSalmeterol (brand name Advair) inhaler 25050mcg two puffs twice daily. These medications can help manage symptoms of asthma-related cough and provide relief. Additionally, steam inhalation and staying hydrated can also help alleviate cough symptoms. It's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm an ex-smoker, having smoked about 510 cigarettes a month for 56 years, and I quit just a month ago. I'm really worried because I'm experiencing chest congestion and I'm producing sputum, though it isn't thick. I'm also noticing mild labored breathing whenever I exert myself. I have a chronic dust allergy, and my recent chest X-ray showed I have mild sinusitis. The main worrying sign right now is that I hear a low-pitched whistling sound when I breathe in. Can you please advise me on how I can help heal my lungs from all the damage over the years?

I'm dealing with allergic bronchitis for the past year and someone suggested that I should see a pulmonologist. I'm not sure what I should do next. Could you help me understand if seeing a specialist is the right move here? Or is there something else I should be considering?
Visiting a Pulmonologist is an excellent step in managing your allergic bronchitis; before the consultation, maintain a symptom journal, note down your medical history, and prepare a list of questions to ask the doctor; expect the Pulmonologist to perform a physical examination, review your test results, and possibly order additional tests like spirometry, peak flow, or allergy tests to develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include medications, lifestyle modifications, and avoidance of allergens.
