I've been having a cold for the last couple of days, and now Im dealing with some breathing issues. My chest feels really dry and kind of congested, like it's hard to breathe and I'm a bit suffocated. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a normal part of having a cold? What should I do to feel better?

View allI'm experiencing some discomfort and pain on the left side of my rib and chest area, especially when I take a deep breath. It also gets worse if I sleep on my left side. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?
It sounds like you might be experiencing muscle strain, inflammation, or possibly something related to your ribs or lungs. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues like a rib injury or respiratory concerns.

I've always struggled with cough and cold, and I was diagnosed with TB when I was just 10, but I completed the full treatment back then. Now I'm 29, and my recent blood tests for CBC and ESR have me worried. My results show my eosinophils at 35, which I know isn't normal, and my WBC counts are off too. Could this be something serious or life-threatening? My doctor recommended taking Hetrazan 100 once a day for three months. Is this the right approach? I heard that high eosinophil counts aren't a disease themselves, but it's important to find the underlying cause. Could this be related to my past TB? Should I consider getting a second opinion from another doctor? I'm pretty anxious about all this. What should I do?

I'm really worried and feeling quite anxious. I had COVID last month and was doing fine, but now, 15 days into recovery, I've started having a productive cough and some mild pain when I cough. I got an X-ray that showed hilar lymphadenopathy. My oxygen is at 99, blood pressure is normal, and I don't have a fever. I just got my CBC count done and attached the report. I'm terrified about what this might mean. Is this something serious? Will I be okay? Here's the treatment I'm currently on: Monocef O CV, Amcon, Mucinac 600, and today they added Deflacort 6. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?
Continue same treatment for 5 days is advised to the patient.
