Question 1

I've been dealing with some leftover symptoms after getting over COVID. I was diagnosed back in April and finally tested negative in late May, but here I am, a month later, still experiencing a mild cough with phlegm in the mornings and sometimes a bit of chest strain when I sit and lean back. It's been a bit worrying, and I've had two different doctors recommend different thingsone suggested Pulmoclear and the other Montek LC. I'm just trying to figure out what would actually help in clearing up these post-COVID issues. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Continue pulmoclear and montek lc for 7 days.

Question 2

I've had a persistent cough for the past three years along with frequent throat infections and mouth ulcers. I recently had sinus surgery, but the cough hasn't gone away. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should look into?

Accepted Answer

Also called upper airway cough syndrome, postnasal drip is a common cause of a long-lasting cough. Allergies, viruses, dust, chemicals, or inflammation can irritate your nasal membranes and trigger runny mucus that drips out of your nose and down your throat. This makes you cough, especially at night when you lie down

Question 3

I've been noticing this odd breathing noise coming from my throat. It's like a hiss, hiss, hiss sound when I breathe in and out, but it doesn't happen all the time. It usually shows up when I'm short of breath after running. I feel okay, but the noise has me a bit worried. It's kind of like a high-pitched puffing noise. Any idea what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

The high-pitched "hiss" or puffing noise you're hearing while breathing after running could be related to slight airway narrowing or a bit of congestion, which can occur when you're short of breath. If you're not experiencing other symptoms like wheezing, chest tightness, or discomfort, it may not be a major concern, but if it persists, it could be worth discussing with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues like mild asthma or respiratory irritation.

I'm experiencing this pain on the right side of my chest and around my breastbone. It gets worse when I breathe or when I change positions while sleeping. Do you have any idea what might be causing this and what I should do about it?
