I'm a bit concerned because I recovered from COVID-19 about 15 days ago, but I still have some lingering issues. I had a mild case with just a loss of smell, but now I'm experiencing weakness, constant hunger, headaches, gastric problems, and some breathing difficulties. My oxygen levels dropped to 94-96 while they're usually 98-99. Is this something I should be worried about? What should I do?

I've been dealing with a really bad cough for over 15 days now and nothing seems to help. I've tried multiple treatments but no improvement. I recently had a baby through C-section and my overall condition feels weak. Could this cough be related to my surgery or recovery? What treatment would you recommend for someone in my situation?

USE COUGH SYRUP.
