I'm really worried because my COVID-19 test came back positive and my CT score is 27.82. I'm not showing any signs of high fever though, so I'm a bit confused about what steps I should take next. Can you give me some guidance?

Question

I've been dealing with a lot of white mucus coming from my nose in the mornings and I've had trouble breathing. Its been going on for about two months now, and when I sleep, I hear a soft noise in my throat. A few doctors have mentioned that it might be the beginning stages of asthma. Could you guide me on how to handle this situation? I'm really concerned and looking for some advice.

Question

So, I've been having some issues with thick sputum lately, and recently I've noticed a few blood spots in it, which is a bit unsettling. I went ahead and did a sputum culture test, and it came back saying I have positive gram cocci in pairs. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm a bit concerned about what this might indicate for my health.

Question

I'm really worried about something I just found out. Last year, I was in a car accident, and nobody told me anything about my chest x-ray results. I looked at the report today, and it mentions things like biapical pleural thickening, perihilar interstitial prominence, and mild hyperaeration. I have no idea what any of this means. I was fine until recently, but now I've started coughing up phlegm, and I get short of breath when I walk up stairs, although it goes away quickly. Other than that, I feel healthy. Can you help ease my mind and tell me what I should do next?
