My cough's been lingering ever since I had COVID three months ago. It comes with mucus and now isn't going away. I've tried antibiotics, anti-allergic meds, and syrups, which seemed to work while I was taking them, but the cough just keeps coming back once I stop. I've had tests like chest X-rays and RTPCRs, and everything looks fine, so that's a relief, but the cough is driving me nuts. I've been prescribed a bunch of medications like Augmentin, Levomac, and Montemac, but I don't see much improvement. I'm beginning to wonder if this is normal. Could it be some kind of long-term COVID effect or allergy issue? I'm really looking for some guidance on what steps to take next.

I'm having trouble with my breathing and it's been going on for about two months now. My chest X-ray came out clear, but I've also been dealing with a sore throat and no fever. My temperature is normal. I'm obese with a BMI of 34, and I'm really worried about my breathing issues. My SpO2 levels range between 96 and 99. My grandma has asthma, so I'm wondering if there's a connection. Im using the Seroflo 250 inhaler and Ezicas nasal spray, but Im not sure if I need to do more. Ive got a PFT report from a year ago, and my peak flow meter always reads above 500. Could any of this relate to my breathing difficulties, and what can I do to improve this situation?

Yes,continue all the medications.

I'm experiencing chest pain and discomfort for the past two days, along with pain in my throat and neck that's getting worse. The pain is all around my rib cage and near my clavicle, and it feels like something is pressing on my chest. I've also had a cough that was quite bad yesterday, but it's a bit better today. The cough is dry, but in the mornings I'm coughing up white sputum and have been for quite a while. I haven't had a fever or lost my appetite. Could this be TB or something else?

do chest x ray and CBNAAT
