Question

I'm dealing with sinusitis and I've noticed there are some black spots in my phlegm, especially in the mornings. I also experience slight wheezing and have a bit of difficulty breathing when I'm going up stairs, but no fever. My sinusitis seems better with flixonase spray and montelukast tablets. Should I be worried about these new symptoms and see a specialist?

Question

I'm really worried because I had a Covid test on June 1st, and I've been having this dry cough ever since. It's been a few days now without a fever, but the cough just won't go away. I tried taking Macbery XT cough syrup, but it hasnt helped at all. Also, sometimes I feel like there's some congestion when I breathe. What should I do about this?

Question

I've been wondering about my lung health after smoking for many years, even though I quit some time ago. Is there any way to check how my lungs are doing now, and can I clear out any tar that might have built up in them over the years?
