I've been sneezing nonstop and it's hard to breathe. I was taking Medrol 4mg, and now I have chest and back pain. I had an MRI done for my chest and lungs, and it showed there's an infection. What could be causing all this? Do I need to be worried about the infection spreading or getting worse? What should my next steps be?

I've been having trouble with my breathing for like 3 months now, and I'm kinda lost on what to do next. I've already done some tests like an ECG, and it showed my heartbeat is a bit faster than normal. Plus, I've had normal results for my X-ray and thyroid function test. In my latest blood tests, my triglycerides, SGPT, SGOT, and uric acid are just slightly above normal. I've also gained some weight during quarantine and got a bit of a belly. I'm just wondering if all of this could be related to my breathing issues or shortness of breath? Any advice on what might be going on or what I should do?

Physician opinion is advised to the patient.

So, this morning I noticed I had thick yellow sputum with some blood in it, but it only happened once and I haven't had any other symptoms. I'm kinda worried about what might be going on. Is this something serious, or could it just be a random thing? What should I be doing or watching out for?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .
