I'm experiencing persistent shortness of breath and this odd sensation like there's something stuck in my throat which makes me burp. I took a Covid test on June 17th, and it came back negative, so I'm wondering if it's possible for Covid not to show up on those tests? My Pulmonologist recommended an HRCT of my chest and an ECHO, both done by June 30th, and the results came back normal. I'm curious if an HRCT can sometimes miss Covid. Also, if someone has a heart blockage, would that show up as any kind of abnormality on an ECHO?

View allI've been dealing with frequent cough, sputum production, body aches, sore throat, and nasal congestion for a while now and I'm really confused about which specialist to see. I've already visited ENT and internal medicine doctors, but everyone has a different opinion some say it's an upper respiratory infection while others think it's sinusitis. One ENT even recommended FESS surgery, but I'm not sure what to do since antibiotics haven't helped so far. I'm also a type 2 diabetic, though I'm not consistent with my meds. Should I try seeing a pulmonologist or stick with ENT/internal medicine?
Given your symptoms of cough, sputum production, body aches, sore throat, and nasal congestion, you should first consult with your primary care physician or an urgent care center. They can assess your overall condition, rule out any serious issues, and determine if you need to be referred to a specialist. If your cough persists for more than a few weeks, or if you develop more severe symptoms like difficulty breathing or a high fever, you should see a pulmonologist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.

I'm worried about my right cp lungs being blunted. I've had a cough for the last 30 days. Can you recommend a good medication for this?
A blunted right CP lung could indicate some underlying condition, like pleural effusion or lung inflammation. Given your persistent cough for 30 days, it's important to consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. Medications like antibiotics or inhalers may be prescribed based on the diagnosis, but a proper assessment is needed to determine the right treatment.
