I'm curious and a bit worried about something. Whenever I drink liquids, I start coughing and feel a wet sensation in my oxygen pipe. Could this be a sign of something I should be concerned about?

I've recently started experiencing some shortness of breath out of nowhere, and it made me decide to stop smoking. For a week or so after quitting, I felt fine and didn't have any breathing issues. But now, in the second week, the shortness of breath has come back suddenly. Could you shed some light on why this might be happening? Also, are there any home remedies I could try to help with this?

I'm really worried as my friend tested COVID positive just four days ago. They're fully vaccinated and don't have any major symptoms, and their oxygen level is between 98-99 with a pulse rate of 80. I'm not sure if the chest X-ray is showing anything alarming. Could you help me understand if everything looks alright, or if there's anything serious we should be concerned about? How can they get better?

no need to worry consult nearby physician

I'm wondering if pneumonia and tuberculosis leave the same kind of scar on your lungs after you've been treated. Could the scarring look similar, or do they have distinct differences? Just trying to understand what kind of impact these infections might have long-term.
