Question

I'm really anxious because I've had breathing issues, a cough, and a sore throat for 90 days now. I got tested for Covid three times, and all came back negative, which just adds to my worries. It started suddenly on March 18, and it's not getting any better. Even after testing negative in May, I'm still struggling with breathing problems. This is making me really scared. Can you recommend any medications or advice on what I should do?

Question

I'm an asthma patient and I've been dealing with it for 15 years. I used to use the Seretide 500 inhaler, but lately, I haven't been able to find it. So now I'm using Asthalin 100, like 7 or 8 times a day with two puffs each time. Is this a problem?

Question

I've been dealing with tuberculosis for a month now and have been on medication since February 4, 2017. I quit my job to rest and recover, but I'm now considering getting back to work. Is it safe for me to go back now, or is there still a risk of spreading the infection? Plus, I've been having a mild fever with chills about once a weekis that something to worry about? Could you offer some advice on what I should do?

Question

I'm really worried about this cough I've been having. After doing cardio exercise, I start coughing really badly and spit out really dark mucus, and sometimes there's even a tiny bit of blood in it. The blood only comes once, but it freaks me out. This happens for about 15 to 20 minutes after my workout, and the coughs feel super deep. The deeper they get, the more black the mucus is, and occasionally, I get this really sharp pain right in the middle of my chest. This has been going on for the last three months. I do smoke around 45 cigarettes a day and have been for the last seven years. I did get a recent medical check-up, and my ECG and chest X-ray came back normal, so I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?
