I'm really worried because I've had this cough for about 10 days now. I tried taking Banocide and Zyrcold, but they didn't help. I'm thinking about trying Azax 500, but I'm unsure if it's safe for me to take. Could you give me some advice on this?

I've been dealing with some leftover issues after my covid recovery about two months ago, and I'm worried. I was diagnosed with Corad 4 lung infection, and at the worst, my severity score was 1425. I'm curious to know how long it usually takes for the green glass opacities and consolidation in the lungs to heal and disappear completely. I generally feel okay, but there are times when I have to breathe with a bit of extra effort, and I occasionally feel a heaviness in my chest. Is this something normal? Also, I'm a bit confused about what breathlessness means in the context of covidis it supposed to be like shortness of breath or more about having difficulty in breathing? Can you give me some clarity on this?

breathlessness means difficulty in breathing. it will take time to resolve the opacities
