Question

I've been concerned about my chest x-ray results taken about six weeks after having COVID. One doctor mentioned that there's a slight infection and suggested taking azithromycin 600 mg for a week, but another doctor advised me that there's no infection. Could you help clarify if there's actually an infection or if I need to take the antibiotics? I really prefer not to take more medication unless it's necessary.

Question

I'm really worried about my loved one who's dealing with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and now also has acute congestive heart failure. His wheezing cough seems to be getting worse and he can't get any sleep because of it. Right now, he's using Combimist L respules with a nebulizer, but his LVEF percentage is down to 10. I'm really anxious to know if there are any medications or treatments that could help control his wheezing cough better. What would you suggest?

Question

I've had this chest congestion for about a week now, and there's some coughing too. Im having trouble taking deep breaths. My temperature's been normal though. Could this possibly be COVID-19, or is it likely something else?
