I'm really worried because I've been dealing with a dry cough for over two months now, and I've had breathing problems too. My head hurts a lot, and I've been vomiting. I got an x-ray, and it looks like the infection in my chest is getting worse. What could be causing all this, and what should I do next?

Question

I've been feeling a bit worried lately. I got back to my hometown from Pune on March 11th and I've been really careful, keeping my distance from people and not going out since March 20th. But on the night of March 29th, around 11 PM, I started coughing. It's been a couple of days now and the cough isn't getting worse or better, just staying the same. Sometimes I feel like I need to take a deep breath, but it usually passes after a few seconds. Do you think I might have coronavirus?

Question

I've just started taking Fixcom 4 for my PTB, and I'm really confused about how to take it. Am I supposed to take all 3 tablets in the morning, or should it be 3 times a day? Right now, I've just been taking one tablet because I'm not sure about the dosage. Could you help me understand how I should be taking this medication?

Question

I'm really concerned because my cough hasn't improved since Tuesday, even though I've been taking Zecuf and levocet. Is there something else I should be doing, or could it be something more serious?
