I'm really concerned about my husband. He had COVID back in September 2021, and ever since we're worried about his lungs. He's been taking medication for pulmonary lung fibrosis for the last four months. I'm attaching his recent CT scan of his lungs. Can you tell if there's been any improvement? And how much longer might it take for him to fully recover?

I've been having some issues with mucous and chest congestion lately. There's this white, jelly-like, and sometimes fibrous mucous coming from my lungs, and my chest gets tight around the left lower rib or in the center. Coughing it up usually helps with the tightness, but it's becoming concerning. Also, I wake up with bad breath and some upper back pain below my shoulders. I don't have a fever or breathing problems, but I'm dealing with acidity, heartburn, and flatulence. I'm wondering if these symptoms are connected and what I should do about them? Any advice would be appreciated.

Your symptoms suggest chronic bronchitis or a lingering respiratory infection, with the white jelly-like or fibrous mucus indicating a possible fungal or bacterial overgrowth; meanwhile, the acidity, heartburn, and flatulence may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), so consider consulting md medicine

I'm 21 and I've had asthma since I was 2. It's not super severe, but I do need to use my Foracort inhaler every day. I also like to work out at the gym. One time I tried whey protein and got hives from it. I'm wondering if taking amino acid supplements could negatively affect my asthma? Would love to know your thoughts.

just avoid it, there are many contents which can cause allergy
