I've been dealing with a dry cough for the past two weeks and it's driving me crazy. I've already tried Clavam 625 and taking Budesal 1 mg twice daily, along with doing steam inhalations, but nothing is really helping. I'm feeling really tired and just want to know what else I can do to get better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

So I've been having this annoying cough lately, and now I'm feeling this weird pain on the left side under my rib cage, right below my left breast. Do you think the cough could be causing the pain, or should I be worried about something else? Its kinda freaking me out a little.

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.

I'm feeling really frustrated about my health. I'm 32, unmarried, and I've never had issues like this before. I've been taking Pulmoclear 700 mg, Montek LC, and Amrox LS for over a month now, and it's got me worried. Are these symptoms of sinus or pulmonary problems? Is the mucus clogging and blocking my breathing because it feels like I'm starving for oxygen, and I've had to go into intensive care. Being alone at home makes it even tougher. Could this be a seasonal illness that I'll have to deal with every year, or is there a solution to fix it?

it is seasonal, it wil be cured by medications.

I'm really worried because I've been having Covid symptoms, like chest pain and breathing issues, but my RT-PCR tests always come back negative. It's been 1.5 months since this all started, and my recent chest X-ray showed congested bilateral hila. Can you help me understand what this means? Is it possible I still have a Covid infection, or could it be something else?

it just means you have slight inflammation. you don't have covid infection now
