I'm really concerned about my momshe's 64 and dealing with CKD stage 2. We've just found out she has post-COVID fibrosis. Is there any way to cure or reverse it? And are there specific anti-fibrotic meds she can eat? What kind of symptoms should we be on the lookout for? Please let me know.

I'm 21 and a couple of weeks back, I had a sore throat and cough. I took some antibacterial meds for a few days, but now I'm still coughing around 4-5 times a day with phlegm. The phlegm looks like what's in the picture. I feel fine otherwise, no other symptoms, but I'm a bit worried. Any idea what's going on?

I've noticed blood in my morning cough after brushing for the last three days. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious? What do you suggest I do?

Blood in morning cough after brushing can be alarming, but it's often caused by minor issues like gum bleeding, toothbrush trauma, or dry mouth, however, it's essential to consult a doctor or dentist to rule out more serious conditions
