I'm dealing with a wet cough that's been bothering me for a week now. I tried taking Benadryl for a couple of days and then switched to Cipla's COFRYL, but nothing seems to be working. What can I do to get some relief?

Since you have already tried Benadryl and Cipla's COF-RYL without relief, I recommend trying Robitussin DM for your wet cough. Take 10ml of Robitussin DM every 4-6 hours as needed for cough. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

I went to the dentist a few days back, and since then, I'm feeling like I might have a cold or cough, or maybe something weird with my breathing. But there's no constant cough, sneeze, or fever. Could this be COVID? The dentist was wearing a PPE kit, but should I still be worried? How soon would any symptoms show up if it were COVID? I'm really stressed about this. Can you help?

don't panic get covid test done and consult further

I'm feeling really worried because my family member has been having a bad cough and chest congestion for a few days now. He's also struggling to get any sleep at night and it seems to get worse when he's talking. We went to a doctor and while his blood pressure is fine and the X-ray showed everything is normal, the doctor prescribed some tablets and a syrup, including Ecozet MTA and Amoxicillin, and also recommended using Neb Duolin for a week. We've been following the prescription, but the cough is still not going away. What should our next steps be? Should we be concerned or try something different?

medications given are good, take syrup ascoril twice a day for 1 week

I'm really worried because even though my chest X-ray came back normal, I've been having breathing problems for several days now. My oxygen level was 96 just yesterday, and I'm not sure if that's okay. Plus, my lymphocytes are a little high. Can an X-ray miss something serious? What should I do?
