I'm really worried because my mom tested positive for COVID two months ago, but then she turned negative after two weeks. Now she just had a CT scan of her lungs, and I'm anxious about the results. Can you take a look at the reports and let me know if there's anything off or if we should be concerned?

I've been having some issues with mucous and chest congestion lately. There's this white, jelly-like, and sometimes fibrous mucous coming from my lungs, and my chest gets tight around the left lower rib or in the center. Coughing it up usually helps with the tightness, but it's becoming concerning. Also, I wake up with bad breath and some upper back pain below my shoulders. I don't have a fever or breathing problems, but I'm dealing with acidity, heartburn, and flatulence. I'm wondering if these symptoms are connected and what I should do about them? Any advice would be appreciated.

Your symptoms suggest chronic bronchitis or a lingering respiratory infection, with the white jelly-like or fibrous mucus indicating a possible fungal or bacterial overgrowth; meanwhile, the acidity, heartburn, and flatulence may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), so consider consulting md medicine

I'm really worried about my mom's cough situation. We've been to the doctor, but nothing seems to be helping her. Whenever she starts coughing, it goes on for a long time and only stops when we nebulize her. It tends to happen around 8 to 8:30 pm and sometimes when she's eating. It feels like no medication is working for her. What could be causing this, and is there anything else we can try to help her?
