Ive had a cough with mucus for the past 15 days. It's gotten a bit better, but its still there. Should I be worried about this, or get a chest X-ray? And is there a chance my 1.7-year-old baby could catch it from me?

Question

I'm dealing with wheezing and got this dust allergy thing going on too. My PFT results came back saying there's some restrictive airways action happening. I'm using Maxiflo 250mg rotocaps inhalers, but I still get a bit of wheezing sometimes. Does that sound like I need to switch up my meds, or is this normal?

Question

I'm curious about the benefits of taking turmeric steam for shortness of breath. I've been doing it for over a month now. I've also had a chest x-ray that showed no issues, and I'm on medication suggested by a pulmonologist from this app. I don't have any cold, fever, or cough. The doctor mentioned it might be due to acidity and anxiety, but I find myself needing to take deep breaths every 34 minutes or so. I don't eat much and just do some light walking in my parking lot because of the lockdown. I had been using duolin and easebreath nebulization but decided to stop and stick with turmeric steam instead. I'm also taking RabletD and Abflo, with just two doses left. What do you think about this approach?

Question

I recently went for a chest X-ray and PFT test because I've been having some mild breathing issues. The ECG and echo came back normal, which is a relief. However, I did have COVID about 45 weeks ago, but it was pretty mild, just a 3-day fever and cold symptoms. I took all the necessary meds as prescribed after consulting a doctor. Should I still be concerned about these breathing issues, or is it likely just leftover effects from COVID even after so long?
