I'm struggling with a lot of phlegm in my throat every morning. I have asthma, so sometimes I get short of breath. I've been using nebulisation which helps, but it's not solving the phlegm issue. I've tried making myself vomit to clear my throat, but then I end up with an infection in my esophagus, and I feel like there's still something stuck in my throat after eating. It's making it really hard to eat properly. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

View allMy cough's been lingering ever since I had COVID three months ago. It comes with mucus and now isn't going away. I've tried antibiotics, anti-allergic meds, and syrups, which seemed to work while I was taking them, but the cough just keeps coming back once I stop. I've had tests like chest X-rays and RTPCRs, and everything looks fine, so that's a relief, but the cough is driving me nuts. I've been prescribed a bunch of medications like Augmentin, Levomac, and Montemac, but I don't see much improvement. I'm beginning to wonder if this is normal. Could it be some kind of long-term COVID effect or allergy issue? I'm really looking for some guidance on what steps to take next.
Yes,continue all the medications as advised by the physician.

I'm looking at my X-ray report, and I'm pretty concerned. It mentions that the right hilar vascular marking is prominent, and for the cardiac area, it's not clear if it's normal or not. Plus, the CP angles are hazy. I'm really wondering if these findings are normal or if there's something I should be worried about health-wise. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm a smoker who has quit recently, and I'm really interested in knowing how I can clean my lungs now. Could you tell me where I might be able to get this done and what the costs might look like? Also, if you could explain a little about the procedure, that would be great.
Hi, it's great that you've quit smoking! To help clean your lungs, you can undergo a treatment called pulmonary rehabilitation, which includes breathing exercises, exercise therapy, and sometimes medications. The cost can vary depending on your location and the clinic, but it typically ranges from 1,500 to 5,000 per session. It's always best to consult a pulmonologist to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.
