I've had a really bad cough for the last couple of days, and there's a wheezing sound when I breathe sometimes. I've been taking Rex cof syrup, but it hasn't helped at all. I did a COVID test, and thankfully, it's negative. I'm just wondering if there's any other medicine or treatment youd recommend for this cough?

I'm having trouble getting enough oxygen. I've got a cold and I'm coughing up a bit of phlegm, but there's not much of it and its brown. I've also got nodules on my lungs, and the largest one is around 5 cm. Does this sound like something I should be worried about?

I've got this CT value of 525 from my HR CT chest scan, and I'm worried it might mean I have pneumonia. Could you tell me if it's something mild or more serious? And if it is pneumonia, is there any medication you would recommend?

I'm a bit confused about my CT score. During my COVID infection, my CT score was 425, and now, post-COVID, it's 725. The doctor mentioned it's normal but I'm not sure what this means. I finished home quarantine 45 days ago and tested negative twice. Should I be concerned about the CT score of 7, or is there anything specific I need to do?

lead normal life , nothing to worry
