I've been feeling a bit breathless since April 13th. It eased up a bit, but then from April 18th, I started getting out of breath even when I'm just resting. I don't have any chest pains or a constant cough, although my cough sometimes sounds deep, and there's a wheezing sound when I take a deep breath. I haven't had any fever or chills either. It's been over a month now, and this breathlessness just isn't going away. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Question

I'm having some trouble with a bad cough since yesterday, and now I'm experiencing more chest pain. Today, it's even getting hard to breathe, and there's a wheezing sound when I breathe. My sputum has turned yellowish-green, and I'm breathing rapidly. It's really uncomfortable, and I've never had any history of asthma before. Could this be asthma or just an allergic reaction? What should I do? Please help me figure this out.

Question

I'm really worried because theres fluid build-up in one of my mom's lungs. We're headed to CMC Vellore and it's about a 2-hour 15-minute flight. She's been coughing and has some trouble breathing. Is it safe for her to fly right now, or should we consider another form of travel?

Question

I'm a bit worried and seeking some advice. I tested positive for COVID-19 on May 2nd but had mild symptoms like fever for the first couple of days and then loss of smell and taste, which came back on the 6th day. My cough stopped initially, but after about 15 days, I started having a dry cough again. I was prescribed Alex cough syrup by a doctor on Practo. It's been almost 56 days now, and I still have that dry cough with some chest pain when I cough and occasionally feel pain in the upper abdomen, below the ribs. Could these be signs of pneumonia, or should I get a chest X-ray to be sure?
