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 experiencing some shortness of breath, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep at night. It wakes me up and I find myself needing to wait to catch my breath before I can settle down again. It's been going on for about 3 years now and sometimes it's accompanied by bloating, burping, and farting. I notice the shortness of breath can also happen with panic or loud noises around me. I've tried different medicines over time but they only seem to help temporarily. I'm really curious to know what could be causing this and what might actually help. What do you think I should do?

My relative has been experiencing severe back pain for the past three days and the doctor suggested an HRCT scan to check for Covid-19. The results showed a few parenchymal fibrotic bands, but everything else looks normal. I'm quite concerned about what this could mean. Could you give us some advice on what steps we should take next, or if theres anything specific we should be cautious about?

it is normal only, if you are having symptoms related to breathing, kindly consult a pulmonologist

I've been dealing with this cough for almost two weeks now. Initially, it was dry, but in the last three days, it's turned into a wet cough, and I'm able to spit it out. I'm feeling constantly tired and really don't have the energy to get things done. Mornings are especially tough because I can't seem to get up. On top of that, I've been having severe headaches all day long. I'm kind of worried about what's going on. Could you give me some advice on what's happening and what I should do?

take syrup ascoril twice a day for 5 days
