I'm a bit worried and seeking some advice. I tested positive for COVID-19 on May 2nd but had mild symptoms like fever for the first couple of days and then loss of smell and taste, which came back on the 6th day. My cough stopped initially, but after about 15 days, I started having a dry cough again. I was prescribed Alex cough syrup by a doctor on Practo. It's been almost 56 days now, and I still have that dry cough with some chest pain when I cough and occasionally feel pain in the upper abdomen, below the ribs. Could these be signs of pneumonia, or should I get a chest X-ray to be sure?

View allI've recently quit smoking and I'm really concerned about how to naturally cleanse my lungs from all that tar buildup. Also, I'm curious about which vitamins and minerals are best for keeping my lungs healthy now. Can you offer any advice?
To naturally remove tar from lungs after quitting smoking, try steam inhalation, drink plenty of water, eat antioxidant-rich foods like leafy greens, berries, and other fruits, and consider supplements like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Omega-3 fatty acids; also, incorporate lung-friendly minerals like Magnesium, Potassium, and Selenium into your diet, and practice yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to promote healthy lung function.

I'm really concerned because I recovered from COVID about a month and a half ago, but I've had this persistent cough for the last two months. There's no mucus, flu, or cold symptoms accompanying it. Should I be worried about this lingering cough, and is there something I can do about it?
Tab azithromycin 500mg,orally,once daily for 3 days is advised to the patient.

I've just gotten my X-ray report back and it mentions something about my bronchovascular area. Everything else in the X-ray seems fine. I don't have any cough, haven't been smoking or drinking, and really don't have any bad habits. Can you help me understand what it means? Is this something I should be worried about?
Prominent bronchovascular markings include lung infection, asthma and oneumonia,cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension etc. Tab augmentin 625mg ,orally,twice daily for 7 days is advised to the patient.
