Question 1

I've been struggling after a COVID infection about 15 days ago. During the infection, I had a hard time breathing and it felt like something was stuck in the center of my rib cage, making my oxygen levels drop to 90. I had an HRCT of 1025 and have since recovered, but I still can't take a deep breath. When I do pranayama, I don't feel pain in the center of my chest when I breathe from my right nostril, but I do from my left, and my breaths feel shorter on that side. For the past week, I've had constant phlegm in my throat that just won't come out. My oxygen levels vary from 98 when sitting upright, to 95 when relaxed, and between 93 and 92 when lying down. If I manage to get the phlegm out, my oxygen goes back up to 98. I'm worried that my levels might drop more when I sleep. What could be causing this pain and how long could it take to go away? I've been sleeping in a prone position since COVID started and I'm constantly checking my SpO2. Can you help me figure out what's going on with this chest obstruction and the phlegm in my throat?

Accepted Answer

take syrup ascoril twice a day for 5 days

Question 2

I've been dealing with some leftover symptoms after getting over COVID. I was diagnosed back in April and finally tested negative in late May, but here I am, a month later, still experiencing a mild cough with phlegm in the mornings and sometimes a bit of chest strain when I sit and lean back. It's been a bit worrying, and I've had two different doctors recommend different thingsone suggested Pulmoclear and the other Montek LC. I'm just trying to figure out what would actually help in clearing up these post-COVID issues. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Continue pulmoclear and montek lc for 7 days.

Question 3

I'm dealing with a dry cough related to my respiratory system and have an allergy to dust. Every now and then, I also experience some pain in my heart. This has been going on for about three years. Could this be something serious? Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing this, and what should I do next?

Accepted Answer
