I've been dealing with this issue where I cough up phlegm every morning, and it's been flaring up again after I caught COVID. This was under control before I got sick, but now it's back again. Especially after I eat, it feels like it gets worse. Do you have any advice on how I can manage this?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 49 and dealing with a thyroid problem, but now she's tested positive for Covid. Her HR CT report seems fine, and she's mainly experiencing weakness and a bit of a dry cough. Her oxygen levels are usually between 93 to 98 during the day, but at night while she's sleeping, her spo2 level drops quickly to around 80-85, which is pretty alarming. We end up waking her up, and then her spo2 levels return to normal. Could this be because of Covid? Should I be worried? What should we do if this happens again?

I'm having this weird struggle with breathing, almost like I'm suffocating. It feels like my lungs aren't getting enough air. I haven't had any fever or cough, but it's been going on for a week now. My pulse is usually kind of fast, around 90. Is there any way to fix this?

I'm a bit worried because my chest X-ray, ultrasound, HIV, thyroid, and other blood tests all came back fine, but my Mantoux test showed a positive result with a size of around 16 mm. I'm not sure if this means I need to start TB treatment. Also, my body temperature usually stays between 98 to 98.8 degrees. Should I be getting any other tests done? Could you give me some advice on this?
