I'm dealing with a cough that's just not going away after celebrating Holi. It's been a while now and I'm getting worried. Is there something I should be doing differently or could there be an underlying issue that's causing this?

It sounds like the dust and colors from Holi may have irritated your airways, leading to a persistent cough. I recommend seeing a doctor to rule out any underlying infection or allergies and to get appropriate treatment, as this kind of cough can sometimes last longer if not addressed properly.

Question

My dad got the second dose of Covishield and now he's having some symptoms like fever, body aches, and a mild cough. It's been 11 days, and even though he isolated himself and started taking Azithromycin and Ivermectin, he's still feeling pretty sick. His HRCT chest scan shows ground glass opacities and some consolidation, mostly in the basal and subpleural areas, with a severity score of 1125. His oxygen levels are around 94-97. I'm really worried, and Im not sure what to do next. What should our course of action be?

Question

I'm really worried because I was diagnosed with pulmonary TB last October and just finished a 9-month ATT. I was in close contact with my wife the whole time. Is there a chance I could have spread it to her before or during my treatment? I'm concerned because they never did a sputum test on meI didnt have a cough or any other symptoms. My Mantoux test was positive, and a CT scan showed multiple lumps. They did an EBUS TBNA too. Right now, my wife doesnt show any symptoms, but should we be concerned?

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?
