I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath over the last few months, and it's starting to really worry me. It comes out of nowhere, and I can't seem to pinpoint why it's happening. What could be causing this, and should I see someone about it?

I've been on TB medication for nearly two months, but I'm still coughing up blood. Is this something to be worried about? Is it normal to still have these symptoms, or should I be doing something different?

I've been dealing with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and lately, I've noticed some changes. My oxygen level sticks around 96-98, which is pretty normal for me, but a month ago, I got hit with COVID. During that time, I was mostly coughing with phlegm and felt really tired, but not much else. Now that I've recovered from COVID, I'm still feeling really worn out. I'm having a dry cough about 6-7 times a day, which never happened to me before, and my chest hurts a bit when I yawn. Plus, I've started feeling a bit of difficulty in breathing that lasts for 3-5 seconds. I used to be perfectly fine before all this. Any idea what's going on?

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for what feels like ages, like over a thousand years, and it's been seriously frustrating. I've visited countless doctors, but none of the treatments seem to work for me. I'm constantly dealing with a dry cough and a sore throat, and it just keeps cycling back. Its leaving me feeling really stuck and I'm not sure what to do anymore. Got any ideas on what could help?

do salt gargling , take tablet amoxyclav for 5 days twice a day
