I've been dealing with this stubborn cough for about 6 months now, and I've noticed that I also get these sharp pains in my ribs and chest sometimes, as well as my back. Lately, every time I take a deep breath, I end up coughing and wheezing, which is really concerning me. Plus, Ive been getting headaches and feeling super tired all the time, no matter how much sleep I get. My other bones are starting to feel weak and ache a lot too. Do you think I should see a doctor for these symptoms? What could be causing all of this?

I was covid positive and just got a negative test result on May 22nd. My SR value was 16.44. I didnt really have any big issues, just a little fever and body pain. But now, even after a month, my oxygen levels have dropped from 98 to 94 and they're not going up. Should I be worried? What should I do?

do chest x ray and review further

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a persistent cough for the past two months. I've tried different treatments allopathic, ayurvedic, and homeopathic, but nothing seems to provide relief. It gets particularly bad whenever I'm near an air conditioner. Could you help me understand what's going on or suggest anything else I should try?

Thats due to allergy,avoiding the triggering factor is the only treatment for such conditions

I've been dealing with a dry cough lately, and in the mornings, I'm coughing up white sputum. I got tested for COVID, and it's negative. I've also had bronchitis for the past couple of years. Right now, I'm using steam inhalation and the Budecort inhaler. Could you please suggest any other medicines or treatments that might help?
