I'm really worried and feeling quite anxious. I had COVID last month and was doing fine, but now, 15 days into recovery, I've started having a productive cough and some mild pain when I cough. I got an X-ray that showed hilar lymphadenopathy. My oxygen is at 99, blood pressure is normal, and I don't have a fever. I just got my CBC count done and attached the report. I'm terrified about what this might mean. Is this something serious? Will I be okay? Here's the treatment I'm currently on: Monocef O CV, Amcon, Mucinac 600, and today they added Deflacort 6. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

I've been dealing with a wet cough for about 10 days now and my doctor put me on antibiotics and this aerodil syrup along with Montek LC tablets. When I'm on the medicine, it seems to control the cough, wheezing, and that annoying whistling sound, but as soon as I stop, everything acts up again. I'm kinda stuck because, with this lockdown, I can't find a doctor to consult. Do you think I should start taking the aerodil syrup and Montek LC tablets again? The nights are the worst, I just can't seem to get any sleep. Would love some advice on what to do!

I've had asthma since I was a kid and used to take homeopathy for it, which seemed to help. It was pretty bad back then, with inhalers and nebulisers being a part of my daily routine. It eventually went away, thankfully. But now, after 15 years, Im having trouble again. My breathing feels offI have a slight cold and have been wheezing a lot since last night. I really dont want to go back on steroids. I've tried taking steam, but its not doing much. What should I do?

avoid allergens, drink warm water , do breathing exercises

Can a chest MRI detect lung cancer? I had a contrast chest CT scan, and the reports came back normal, but after a month, I developed a cough and sputum that lasted for two weeks. The coughing stopped, but sometimes I still get gray-colored sputum and feel pain around my lower ribs and shoulder blade. Is this a sign of lung cancer? I looked it up online, and now I'm concerned. Can an MRI better detect if something's wrong? I've attached my CT scan reports.

no they are not symptoms of lung cancer specifically
