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 trying to figure out if I should be worried about the side effects I'm experiencing. I started using seriflo250 as my pulmonologist prescribed due to some bronchi problems. I had a dry cough before, but now Im coughing more with sputum, and I suddenly got a runny nose, mild headache, and a fever around 100F. I used to smoke for about three years too. Is this normal, or is this something I should be concerned about?
It sounds like the medication is starting to open up your airways, which can sometimes lead to increased coughing and mucus production as your lungs begin to clear. However, the fever, headache, and worsening symptoms might indicate an infection or a reaction. It's important to contact your pulmonologist to discuss these new symptoms, especially considering your smoking history.

I'm dealing with some post-COVID issues and could really use some advice. When I'm teaching or talking a lot, I get this strange pain in my trachea, from my throat to my chest, almost like chest pain, but my ECG was normal. I've had breathlessness too, especially when putting pressure on my voice during classes. My COVID test was positive back on April 23rd and then again on May 5th. I had an HRCT on May 9th which was 0, D-dimer was 490, and CRP was 3.95. Now I'm feeling weak, have a little bit of a dry cough, a sense of cold on the inside, and some gastric issues. What do you think could be going on, and how can I address these symptoms?

I've had this cough for about 45 days now and didn't really think much of it at first. I assumed it was just a regular cough, but today it started hurting on the right side of my chest when I cough. I'm using dry cough syrup at the moment, but should I be taking any other precautions? How can I avoid this chest pain when I cough?
