I'm having some trouble with my breathing, and my nose feels really blocked. It's also making me feel kind of nauseous. Plus, there's this sharp pain when I touch the upper right part of my chest. I went to the doctor, and he gave me antibiotics and something for asthma, and that helped a lot. But I'm wondering, could my smoking, about five cigarettes a day, be making this worse? Should I be worried about any long-term effects?

View allI'm really feeling confused and a bit worried. So, here's the thing: I got tested since I had a dry cough. Both the Covid antigen and PCR tests came back negative. But when I went to the hospital for the dry cough, they did something called an HRCT and noted a GGO and something about CORAD5. I'm not sure what this means. Could you explain what it's all about and if it's serious? I'm really not sure what to think here.

I'm really worried about my wheezing problem that I've had since I was a 6-month-old baby. My parents took me to various consultants trying to fix it, but nothing really worked. The last doctor I saw was Dr. Raju at Raju hospitals. He ran some tests and suggested I use Cipla Inhalers. So, I've been using CIPLA ROTOCAPS Seroflo 100 for almost 15 years now. I'm scared that if these inhalers are ever unavailable, I won't make it past a week. Recently, my wheezing got really bad because I've been traveling a lot and the cold weather doesn't help, even though I'm based in Chennai. I'm just wondering, should I keep using Seroflo 100 rotocaps or consider other medicines to finally get rid of this wheezing for good?

I'm really worried because I tested positive for COVID-19 on May 4th, but luckily I had no symptoms and stayed in home isolation without needing steroids or oxygen. I've been experiencing some mild fatigue and sometimes a bit of a cough, but nothing serious, and I had congestion for just a couple of days. I've been taking Montekulsta for 10 days now. My breathing seems fine, but whenever I do steam inhalation, I notice white phlegm with black streaks in it. There's no phlegm if I skip the steam. Ive been like this for two days and my sugar levels after meals are around 158. Should I be concerned about black fungus infection and go for any specific tests to rule it out?
