I'm worried I might have a chest deformity. Can you help me understand what it might be and how to find out if I actually have it? I'm thinking about getting a check-up, but I want to be sure about what I'm dealing with first.

I'm dealing with bronchitis I was told by a doctor here in Hong Kong. I don't really have stuff like breathing issues or chest pain but can you guide me on what meds I should take along with my inhaler? Also, I've had this annoying back pain for two days; do you think that's connected?

take inhaler that's enough. for back pain take tablet zerodol

I've been having some trouble with my breathing over the past few days. I keep needing to drink water or do some breathing exercises to feel normal again. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and suggest any remedies that might help?

I caught covid back on April 6th and ended up in the hospital for a couple of weeksspent about 4 days in the ICU with some oxygen support, steroids, and remdesivir. They let me go on April 22nd. But here's the thing, I just went to this lab for an MRI and a CT scan to check for any black fungal infection. There were covid patients around, and one went into the CT scan room right before me. I had to take off my N95 mask for the scan, and now I'm freaking out a bit about possibly getting re-infected. Should I be worried about this?
