I'm dealing with some annoying allergies that started yesterday, and now whenever I'm in cold air, I can't stop sneezing. I took Allegra last night, and thankfully, the sneezing has lessened today. However, when I cough, I feel a pain in my rib cage. Is this something I should be worried about? For some context, I had a moderate case of COVID about six months ago and my lungs were affected back then.

View allI'm having trouble with my breathing and I'm currently taking Montemac FX and Spirodin 650. I'm really anxious to know how long it'll take for me to start feeling better. Also, I'm curious about what my immune system's condition might be right now. Could you help me understand this a bit more?

I'm really concerned about my health. I've been a chain smoker for 30 years but quit 15 years ago. I also have diabetes and hypertension. Back in 2002, I was treated for empyema and TB and had aspirations done. Recently, they did a CT scan and found some bronchiectatic changes and mucus plugging, along with tree-in-bud opacities in the right lower lobe. There's also some linear atelectasis in the lingual area and a few small lymph nodes, but no significant pleural thickening or fluid collection. I've been getting this intermittent dry cough with chest pain and dizziness when I cough. An ultrasound showed a few hyperechogenicities in my right lung. My appetite seems normal and there's no noticeable weight change. Should I be worried about these findings, and what could they possibly mean for my overall health?

I've been dealing with pretty severe Khasi and cough for the last two weeks, and even though I've been taking medicine prescribed by my family doctor, it hasn't improved at all. I'm wondering if there could be another reason for this, or if there's something else I should be doing?
