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.

I'm a bit concerned because I recovered from COVID-19 about 15 days ago, but I still have some lingering issues. I had a mild case with just a loss of smell, but now I'm experiencing weakness, constant hunger, headaches, gastric problems, and some breathing difficulties. My oxygen levels dropped to 94-96 while they're usually 98-99. Is this something I should be worried about? What should I do?

Is it normal to feel the same pain I had before my thoracentesis, even though it's been 36 hours since it was done? I'm worried the pleural fluid might have come back. Could tuberculosis be causing this effusion? The pain is really bothering me, and I'm waiting on my report, which won't be ready until next week. Can you give me some advice in the meantime?
