I'm really worried after my CT scan showed that more than 30% of my lungs have moderate damage from Covid. Is this something that can be cured, or should I be super concerned about long-term effects?

I've been dealing with Allergic Bronchitis for a few years now, but recently it's been getting really bad. I'm having to use my inhaler and nebulizer every day. It's becoming harder to manage, and I'm also getting constant headaches and having trouble sleeping. Can you suggest what I can do to help with these issues?

take cephaloporins for secondary infections

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I'm struggling with a lot of phlegm in my throat every morning. I have asthma, so sometimes I get short of breath. I've been using nebulisation which helps, but it's not solving the phlegm issue. I've tried making myself vomit to clear my throat, but then I end up with an infection in my esophagus, and I feel like there's still something stuck in my throat after eating. It's making it really hard to eat properly. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?
