I'm really worried and confused. My husband tested positive for COVID-19 after his third RTPCR test. We consulted three different doctors, and now his HRCT chest scan shows mild involvement with a score of 625. Can he recover at home with medication? Every doctor seems to have a different opinion, and Im not sure which advice to follow. What should I do?

I've been struggling with this severe wet whooping cough for 7 months now and it's really worrying me. I'm 6 months pregnant and don't smoke, but nothing seems to help. Ive been on antibiotics and have gone to the hospital 40 times where they gave me lots of IVs. The doctors say I have tuberculosis, pneumonia, bronchitis, and a really deep wet bronchial infection, plus a severe lung infection. When I breathe and cough, my chest rattles, and after being auscultated, they said theres a croaking sound from my lungs. Sometimes when I cough, its so bad I turn red or even blue because I can't breathe. Honestly, Im scared. What should I do to finally get rid of this cough?

I'm a non-smoker and had a case of tuberculosis back in 2015. For the last 1.8 years, I've been dealing with a buildup of phlegm, and I just found out my IgE level is 489 IUml. Could this mean I'm dealing with asthma, COPD, chronic bronchitis, or something else? I'm really worried about whether this could cause more damage to my lungs over time. What do you think?

I've been dealing with a cough for the past month and my fever keeps hovering between 102 and 104. I just got my test results back: my Mentaux test is positive and my chest X-ray shows some bronchetactics changes in the left upper-mid zone. There's also been mention of bronchial wall thickening and nodular densities in the upper zone. The report says it could be an infectious or inflammatory issue. I'm really worriedis this something serious that needs immediate attention, or is it likely to improve on its own? Any advice on how to handle this would be really appreciated.
