I've been trying to shake off a chest congestion issue that popped up about ten days after I recovered from COVID. My symptoms were pretty mild initially, and I got through it while isolating at home. But now, I'm dealing with this annoying chest noise when I breathe, and it's making me cough. What's weird is that this didn't happen at all when I was still positive for COVID. I was taking MucidayN daily for about 23 days, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. Is there another medication you think might work better, or should I just keep going with MucidayN? Any advice would be appreciated!
