I'm really worried about this chest congestion I've had for the past 34 days, along with a dry cough. It started with wheezing, a bad backache, and shortness of breath, so I took the meds my doc prescribed, Lcin 500 and doxovent 400, and I've been nebulizing myself too. The symptoms are a bit better but the cough is still hanging around. This same thing happened to me 1.5 years ago during the winter. Is it just the cold weather causing this, or could it be something more serious like asthma? I got really scared after googling these symptoms. Does having wheezing and a dry cough definitely mean it's asthma?

I'm really anxious because I've had breathing issues, a cough, and a sore throat for 90 days now. I got tested for Covid three times, and all came back negative, which just adds to my worries. It started suddenly on March 18, and it's not getting any better. Even after testing negative in May, I'm still struggling with breathing problems. This is making me really scared. Can you recommend any medications or advice on what I should do?

I'm dealing with a blocked nose and a cough that I've had for a few days, but now I'm noticing some blood in my cough. Should I be concerned about this, and what type of doctor should I see?

It could be due to various reasons such as a respiratory infection, bronchitis, or even more serious conditions like pneumonia or tuberculosis. I recommend you to consult a Pulmonologist for further evaluation and management.
