Question

I'm having a hard time with shortness of breath and keep getting these little burps that just won't stop, and it's like this for about 10 days every month. I'm really concerned and not sure what's going on. Could this be linked to my smoking habit or maybe something to do with Thoraco Lumbar Kypho Scoliosis I've heard about? Any advice or insight would be great.

Question

I've been dealing with a covid infection and got my tests done. The fever's gone down, but now I'm struggling with a congested chest that makes it really hard to breathe. I'm in home isolation and following my doctor's treatment plan, but this chest congestion and cough are just making it so tough to breathe. Do you have any advice on how to ease this congestion?

Question

I'm really worried because every morning when I wake up, I have this really bad cough. Sometimes there's even a little blood in it, and I feel like I might throw up. It only happens in the morning though. What could be causing this?

Question

I've been dealing with this persistent cough for several days now, and it just doesn't seem to be improving. I've tried using bisolvon cough forte, but it hasn't really helped. What else can I do to get some relief? Should I be worried about this?
