I've been dealing with COPD for a couple of years now, and I'm really struggling with nonstop coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and tightness in my chest. Every 12 hours or so, my nostrils get blocked too. I've been using inhalers like Esiflo 250 and Tiova, but they only seem to provide temporary relief before everything gets worse again. It's gotten to a point where I've had to be admitted to the hospital, and even with constant nebulization there, things have not improved. I'm feeling pretty discouraged and am looking for advice on how to get long-term relief. Any suggestions?

Question

I'm feeling really worried because I've had a fever for the past two days, and now I'm okay, but I'm having a lot of trouble breathing, and my cough is pretty bad. I was taking zentocol and paracetamol as my doctor suggested, but just a while ago, I started getting really dizzy and my chest is making a Gur Gur sound. Plus, there's this weird stuff coming out when I cough. What should I do next?

Question

I'm really worried about my uncle. He got over covid about 2 months ago, but he still isn't doing well. He was in the hospital and got steroids and medications like remedesivir and faviflu, and they said he had viral pneumonia. They let him go after 20 days, but now he's got this persistent fever around 99-100, and his oxygen levels are worrying me since theyre down to about 89. I checked his CRP, and it's sitting at 8. Even though his reports look clean, the CT scan shows some GGO formation. Whats freaking me out is when he moves, his oxygen can drop to as low as 73. Could you please give me some advice on what to do next?

Question

I've been having some issues for a while now and I'm hoping you can help me out. Last year, during the first wave of covid, I had a fever and all the symptoms but never actually got tested. I just went to a nearby hospital, took some steroids and tablets, and then recovered. But ever since, for about nine months now, I've been dealing with this constant mucus coming from my lungs and throat through my mouth, and there's this stuck feeling and congestion in my chest. I've seen a lot of doctors and gone through all sorts of tests like blood, urine, X-Ray, ECG, and even a hologram scan, but they all say everything is fine. I'm still really struggling with these issues. Any ideas what might be going on?
