Question

I'm dealing with a cold that originally started in my sinuses, but now it's moved down to my chest. I've got a lot of chest congestion and it's getting hard to breathe at times. I'm constantly coughing up phlegm, and sometimes I just can't seem to get relief from the coughing. What can I do to alleviate these symptoms?

Question

I'm having a tough time with my breathing; it's been going on for about a year now. I'm pretty sure it's not asthma, but the symptoms feel like itchest congestion and this incomplete feeling when I breathe. I also deal with constant allergies, like my nose is always running and I sneeze a lot. My family doctor recommended Moncel LC and mentioned something about a smaller rotahaler. Does this sound right, or should I try something else?

Question

I recently had an HRCT scan and it came back with a CORADS 1 score. I'm wondering if this scan can still show evidence of past COVID or other viral infections even though it's been about a month since I might have had them. Could you help me understand what this result means for my health right now?
