Question 1

I've been dealing with a lot of extra sputum all day for about six months now, and every now and then I find myself needing to take deep breaths. After exercising, I get this itchy feeling in my throat like something's stuck there. There's no fever, chest pain, coughing, or weight loss, but my nose is always congested and I find myself taking deep breaths throughout the day. It seems to calm down at night though. I'm wondering what's going on.

Question 2

I'm really worried because someone I know has been a COVID patient since April 8th. We retested after 17 days, and its still positive. The CT scan shows a CORADS6 and a severity score of 6 out of 25, with findings like patchy areas of ground glass, septal thickening, and vascular issues suggesting viral pneumonia. I'm not sure what steps to take next or which medicines should be considered. Can you help?

Question 3

I've been having some issues with mucous and chest congestion lately. There's this white, jelly-like, and sometimes fibrous mucous coming from my lungs, and my chest gets tight around the left lower rib or in the center. Coughing it up usually helps with the tightness, but it's becoming concerning. Also, I wake up with bad breath and some upper back pain below my shoulders. I don't have a fever or breathing problems, but I'm dealing with acidity, heartburn, and flatulence. I'm wondering if these symptoms are connected and what I should do about them? Any advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms suggest chronic bronchitis or a lingering respiratory infection, with the white jelly-like or fibrous mucus indicating a possible fungal or bacterial overgrowth; meanwhile, the acidity, heartburn, and flatulence may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), so consider consulting  md medicine

I've been having this dry cough issue but it's weird because it only kicks in at night when I'm sleeping deeply. Do you have any syrup suggestions that could help with this? Also, I've noticed a strange sound when I breathe at night. Any idea what's going on?

Syrup corex DX 10ml orally ,thrice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.
