I'm really worried and feeling quite anxious. I had COVID last month and was doing fine, but now, 15 days into recovery, I've started having a productive cough and some mild pain when I cough. I got an X-ray that showed hilar lymphadenopathy. My oxygen is at 99, blood pressure is normal, and I don't have a fever. I just got my CBC count done and attached the report. I'm terrified about what this might mean. Is this something serious? Will I be okay? Here's the treatment I'm currently on: Monocef O CV, Amcon, Mucinac 600, and today they added Deflacort 6. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

View allI'm really worried and need some advice. For the past three months, I've been waking up every morning with brown phlegm, but the rest of the day it's clear. It's coming from my throat, and I dont have a cough. I don't smoke, and I live in a calm area with low pollution and a humid climate. It's really freaking me out, and I can't shake the feeling that something might be seriously wrong. Should I be worried? Are there any home remedies that might help?
Spitting brown phlegm in the morning can be alarming, but it's often treatable. Given your symptoms and environment, here are possible causes: *Possible Causes* 1. *Postnasal drip*: Mucus from your nose can drip down the back of your throat, causing brown phlegm. 2. *Acid reflux*: Stomach acid can flow up into your throat, causing inflammation and brown phlegm. 3. *Allergies*: Seasonal or environmental allergies can trigger excess mucus production. 4. *Sinusitis*: Inflammation of the sinuses can cause thick, discolored mucus. *Home Remedies* 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to thin out mucus. 2. *Saline gargle*: Mix 14 teaspoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water and gargle several times a day. 3. *Honey and lemon*: Mix equal parts honey and lemon juice in warm water to soothe your throat. 4. *Elevate your head*: Sleep with your head slightly elevated to reduce postnasal drip. *Medical Consultation* If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult an *ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist* or a *primary care physician*. They may recommend: 1. *Nasal endoscopy*: To examine your nasal passages and sinuses. 2. *Throat swab*: To check for infections. 3. *Acid reflux testing*: To diagnose acid reflux. 4. *Allergy testing*: To identify potential allergens.

I'm really worried about my aunt. She's dealing with COVID and her lungs are infected. Right now, she's on a ventilator in a private hospital. She doesn't have any other health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure; she just has thyroid problems. I have her HRCT scan report here too. The doctors mentioned she'll be on the ventilator for about 5 days. Can you tell me if she's going to be okay? How serious is her condition? Is this something she can recover from?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with Asthma for a long time, and on top of that, now he's got this Marbu Sali thing going on for the last three days. He's been using Asthalin rotocaps a lot, like 78 times a day, which sounds like way too much, right? And now he's got a headache too. He doesn't have any bad habits but he just won't go see a doctor. I'm not sure what to do, can you suggest any other options or treatments that might help him?
Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
