Question

I've been dealing with this cough and some phlegm in my throat, but oddly, there's no fever or cold symptoms along with it. It's just the cough thats bugging me, even after one round of antibiotics. I dont cough all the time, but I can definitely feel that there's phlegm there. What's going on here? Should I be concerned or doing something different?

Question

Im 5 months pregnant and I have scoliosis, which has damaged one of my lungs due to my spine's curvature. I had TB back in 2015 and started experiencing some coughing with mucus in December. After initial treatment, it didnt improve but got better on its own from January to February. Then in March, I had issues with mucus and breathing. My pulmonologist put me on Augment 625 in March, but it didnt help. After that, he prescribed a nebulizer with Duolin and Budesonide for 20 days, and that gave me a bit of relief. Recently, he prescribed Flutrol 400 inhaler and nebulizer urgently, but I'm coughing all the time now. Ive been told it might be COPD and old Kochs disease. Ive never smoked, so Im confused and a bit worried about being diagnosed with COPD. Can someone really have COPD without ever smoking? What could be causing my constant coughing?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been feeling this heaviness in my left upper area and sometimes it's hard to catch my breath. It's getting really uncomfortable and annoying. I saw a cardiologist but they didn't find anything. To feel better, I sometimes have to take deep breaths through my mouth. Do you have any ideas on what could help or any medicine you can suggest?

Question

I'm really getting worried because I've had this cough for three weeks now, and sometimes it comes with a fever. I already did a 5-day course of antibiotics, but it hasn't helped at all and the cough is still there. What could be going on, and should I be trying something different?
