I'm a bit worried because I had a chest X-ray on May 20, which was all clear. But then another X-ray on July 1 showed tenting of the left hemi diaphragm. Can someone explain what this means and if I should be concerned? I was COVID positive on April 9, and I haven't been vaccinated yet. Plus, my heart rate is pretty high, and I'm experiencing chest pain. What should I do next?

I've been dealing with some respiratory issues lately. A few months back, I couldn't get rid of a cough and found out I developed allergies to house dust mites. This progressed into allergic asthma, and the doctor put me on Seretide 250 for a month, which really helped. After finishing it, my asthma got better, but I started waking up with a morning cough. I recently caught the flu, which turned into acute bronchitis. I'm feeling better now after taking antibiotics. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to start another month of Seretide 250. Do you think it's okay?

no not required, drink hot water. take some cough syrup
