Every time I drink any fluids, I end up with this annoying wet cough. I talked to my doctor and they mentioned something about mucosis. I'm really looking for some advice on this. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to prevent it? It's starting to get frustrating.

It sounds like you may be experiencing mucus buildup in your throat triggered by fluid intake. This could be related to conditions like acid reflux, allergies, or postnasal drip. Stay hydrated with warm fluids and avoid irritants; if it persists, consider seeing a specialist for further evaluation.

View allI'm getting really worried because it's been a month since I caught COVID-19. I was admitted to the hospital on April 23 and discharged on April 28. Lately, I've noticed that about ten days after coming home, I started experiencing sudden drops in my oxygen levels and breathlessness, but only while I'm sleeping. During the day, my oxygen levels are between 95 and 98, which seems normal, but at night they can drop to 80 or even lower. This happens even when I sleep in a prone position. Is this something like Happy Hypoxia? I really need some guidance and help with this.
it is hypoxia ,kindly do chest xray

I'm really worried about my mom. After she had severe Covid with pneumonia, her HRCT showed ground glass opacity. We did another HRCT later and it mentioned scattered ground glass opacity and something called Koch's lesion. Now, a year later, her CT scan shows a few lung nodules, with the largest being 9mm, and the doctor is suggesting a bronchoscopy. I'm confused and scared about why this is happening. Also, she has severe OSA and uses a machine at night. Could you help me understand what's going on and why the bronchoscopy is needed?
there is still infection persisting in lung. since there's a nodule ,need to rule out other causes soo better proceed for bronchoscopy
