I've been dealing with a covid infection and got my tests done. The fever's gone down, but now I'm struggling with a congested chest that makes it really hard to breathe. I'm in home isolation and following my doctor's treatment plan, but this chest congestion and cough are just making it so tough to breathe. Do you have any advice on how to ease this congestion?
