I'm really worried about my mom. She had COVID and her HRCT score was 825. She took azithromycin, ivermectin, and multivitamin like Limcee for five days, and now she's feeling okay, but she's still testing positive. Does she need any more treatment for her lungs? Do we need to do anything else?

Im a 41-year-old guy and lately, I've been really struggling with breathing. It doesn't matter if I'm just sitting, standing, talking, walking, or pretty much doing anything - it's like I'm always short of breath. A month ago, I had some pain on the left side of my chest and ended up doing a bunch of tests like ECG, Stress Echo, and a chest X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm really puzzled and kind of worried. Why do you think I might be feeling this way?

I've been dealing with shortness of breath for a couple of months now, and I constantly feel pain on the right side of my chest. I had a spirometry test and a chest x-ray, but everything came back normal. The doctor mentioned something about hyperreactive airways. What does that mean, and is there anything else I should be worried about or look into?
