Can I wash my 3M 9010 N95 pollution mask with detergent powder? Also, could you recommend a really effective pollution mask for the Delhi air? I'm a bit concerned about safety with all this pollution.

View allHey, so about two weeks ago I had a fever and then got hit with a cough and cold. Even some sputum was coming up. The fever's gone now and I'm feeling better, but the cough is still sticking around, though it's not as bad as last week. There's still some sputum, but not too much. But what's got me concerned is that when I cough, I hear like this bell sound coming from inside my lungs. Any ideas on what this could be or what I should do?

I've been dealing with a dry cough for about four months now since having COVID. I've already had a chest X-ray and a CT scan, and both showed everything is normal. I'm a bit worried because the cough just won't go away. Could you recommend a good medicine or treatment to help with this?
