I've been hearing mixed things about steaming and its effectiveness for people affected by corona. Some sources like blogs and newspapers say it doesn't help at all, while debates on news channels and YouTube videos also suggest it's not beneficial. I'm really confused and concerned. Could you shed some light on whether steaming is actually useful for someone dealing with corona?

I'm really worried because I've been struggling with shortness of breath for the past six months, especially at night, and it's making it impossible for me to sleep. I had a pulmonary test and they mentioned something about pneumobilia. Can you explain what that is and what might be causing this?

I'm currently dealing with a tough breathing issue due to severe bronchitis and I've been trying out a few medications like the levosalbutamol inhaler, ibites inhaler, pulmoclear syrup, and also using a nasal spray for about two days. But ever since I started, I've noticed my heart rate is going through the roof, and on top of that, I'm feeling really restless and sleepy. Any idea how I can manage these side effects or should I be worried about them?

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've been having this stubborn dry cough and chest pain that just won't go away. It's been sticking around since I caught a cold about four weeks ago. Sometimes it's not too bad, but other times it gets really severe. I saw an ENT who gave me some antibiotics and syrup to try for five days, but there's been no change. The doctor mentioned something about needing a blood test if things dont get better after this. What could be causing this? Should I be worried about needing further tests, or is this just a common thing after a cold?

yes do a blood test ,- complete blood count, CRP
