I'm a bit worried because it's been two months since I tested positive for COVID, and now I'm experiencing breathlessness for the past four days. The doctor mentioned there's some infection in my chest. Do you think I should see a cardiologist, or should I stick with the current treatment plan?

I've had asthma for 15 years, and it's usually pretty mild. I've been using a Foracort inhaler 400 when needed. Lately, I've noticed that sometimes I feel like I'm breathing too fast and have some breathing issues, especially when I close my mouth. This only happens occasionally, and it's almost like I only notice it when I think about it. Also, just today, I started having a little dry cough and a slight irritation in my throat that feels bitter, but it's only when I cough. Should I be worried about these new symptoms, or is it just a passing thing? Would love your advice on what could be going on.

My dad has been coughing for the past two months, and we've done all sorts of tests including one for TB, but everything came back negative. His CT scan showed he has a parenchymal cyst in the right lower lobe. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. I've already suggested he uses a Rotacap twice a day, but is there something else we should be considering? What steps should we take moving forward?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with a really bad cough and a lot of phlegm for the past couple of days, and my throat feels really scratchy. Could you suggest what might be going on or if there's anything I can do to feel better?

That could be Pharyngitis or Bronchitis which is causing phlegm,do salt water gargling twice daily and consume warm food.
