How can I clean my lungs?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There is no scientific proof to methods available online to detox your lungs. Fortunately, Lungs are good at cleaning and repairing themselves unless there was any chronic damage done. You may follow some steps to keep the lungs healthy such as Quit smoking, avoid second-hand smoke, steer clear of pollution indoors & outside (Wear mask, use air purifiers), prevent lung infections (Hand washing, maintain distance from sick people, get flu/pneumonia vaccines), include anti oxidants in diet and do breathing exercises or any physical activity on regular basis.

View allI'm 35 and diabetic. I started feeling unwell on June 22 with a minor cough and then a low-grade fever. I took Claribid 500 and Musinac 600 for three days. My brother wasn't feeling well for 10 days, got tested for COVID, and his result was positive. Now, four members of my family are positive. By June 27, my oxygen levels dropped, and I was admitted to the hospital. My COVID tests came back negative twice, but since I was in the ICU, all the other patients were positive. After two days, I was moved to a normal ward and treated with IV Monocef O for five days. Now I'm on tablets, Monocef O and Azithral, plus vitamin C for seven days. I don't have any symptoms now. Should I stop the medicine? My CT report looked good, and the doctor advised isolating for 10 days. So can I touch my kids after those 10 days, or should I wait 14 days? Is it okay for me to start doing household chores now? I'm worried and really want to avoid going back to the hospital. Also, could I have been COVID positive but still tested negative?
no need to take any antibiotics and consume healthy food and stay isolated for a period of 7 days and you can be free after that

I'm really worried and feeling quite anxious. I had COVID last month and was doing fine, but now, 15 days into recovery, I've started having a productive cough and some mild pain when I cough. I got an X-ray that showed hilar lymphadenopathy. My oxygen is at 99, blood pressure is normal, and I don't have a fever. I just got my CBC count done and attached the report. I'm terrified about what this might mean. Is this something serious? Will I be okay? Here's the treatment I'm currently on: Monocef O CV, Amcon, Mucinac 600, and today they added Deflacort 6. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?
Continue same treatment for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with these dry coughs for a while now, and they just won't go away. They're not super intense, but they're definitely annoying. I don't have any other issues, just this pesky cough. I kinda hoped it would disappear on its own, but it doesn't seem to be happening. What do you think might be going on?
Take a consultation with Pulmonologist for better evaluation and treatment.
