I've been dealing with a persistent cough for the last two months, and its been pretty rough. Every time I spit out mucus, I get this weird dizziness. On top of that, I've been experiencing some chest pain. Its starting to worry me. Could this be whooping cough or something else? What should I do about it?

I'm a bit worried about my 14-year-old son. His recent CT scan mentioned something about small subsegmental atelectasis in the anterior segment of his right upper lobe. Is this something minor or more serious? Does he need any medication for it? Also, the scan said that the tracheobronchial tree is normal, and there are no signs of Covid pneumonia with a CORADS score of 1. The CT severity score is 0 too. What do you think, should I be concerned?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
