I'm a bit confused about this lingering dry cough I've had for about a month now, ever since I recovered from COVID. My chest X-ray came back normal, so I'm not sure what's causing it to hang around. Any ideas on why this might be happening?

I'm currently dealing with a tough breathing issue due to severe bronchitis and I've been trying out a few medications like the levosalbutamol inhaler, ibites inhaler, pulmoclear syrup, and also using a nasal spray for about two days. But ever since I started, I've noticed my heart rate is going through the roof, and on top of that, I'm feeling really restless and sleepy. Any idea how I can manage these side effects or should I be worried about them?

reduce the levosalbutamol inhaler dose
