I've been dealing with this annoying issue for quite a while now. Whenever I go to bed and try to fall asleep, my throat starts itching and I begin coughing. It's definitely a dry cough. What's weird is that as soon as I stop trying to sleep, the coughing just goes away. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Expectations After Medication Insertion*

Bleeding: You can expect bleeding to start within 2-7 days after the medication insertion. However, this timeframe may vary.

Expulsion of Retained Products: The retained products (measuring 9cc) may be expelled during the first menstrual cycle, but it's not guaranteed.

Factors Influencing Expulsion

Size of Retained Products: The size of the retained products (9cc) is relatively small, which increases the likelihood of natural expulsion.

Effectiveness of Medication: The medication inserted by your doctor is designed to help expel the retained products. Its effectiveness may influence the timing and success of expulsion.

Monitoring and Follow-up

Track Your Symptoms: Keep a record of your bleeding, cramping, and any other symptoms.

Follow-up Appointment: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to assess the progress and determine if further intervention is needed.

My aunt's been dealing with this persistent cough for such a long time, and it just seems to be getting worse. We've tried all sorts of treatments, both allopathy and homeopathy, but nothing's really helping. It's pretty concerning. What should we do? Is there a specific treatment approach we should consider to actually get to the root of this problem?

I'm dealing with COVID for a second time and am currently on my 5th day of quarantine. When I check my oxygen levels with a pulse oximeter, the readings vary depending on which finger I use. Which figure should I trust? And also, my ct value on the RT-PCR test came out to be 27. Does that indicate anything concerning or am I in the safe zone?

Recovery is around 2-3 weeks.Continue all the medications.

I'm having a bit of a tough time with my breathing lately and it's causing me to feel really concerned. I've been experiencing a tight feeling, almost like I'm suffocating, and it's hard to breathe normally. To make matters worse, I've been getting bad headaches around five times a week, and at night, I get these chest pains that make my breathing even more difficult. I just don't know what's going on, and it's really starting to worry me. Could you help me figure out what might be causing these issues and what I should do about it?
