I've been dealing with a breathing and chest problem for the past 10 days and have been taking Deriphylin OD 300, Defcort OD 12, and Montamac L tablets, but I'm not finding any relief. What's going on? Should I be worried, or do you think I need a different treatment?

View allI've been dealing with this leftover issue in my lungs after having the flu for a few days. It's day 5 now, and I feel okay overall, but I have this annoying frog in my throat. It used to be a sore throat, but now it only hurts when I cough. The big concern is when I try to inhale, I can't fully expand my lungs, and I'm wheezing when I breathe out. Could this be acute bronchitis? Do you think I need to see a doctor about it?
Seroflo inhaler sos is advised to the pt for wheezing.

I'm not sure what's been going on with me for the past 20 days. I've been feeling this shortness of breath, and when I try to take a deep breath, it feels like my heart's under pressure. My heart rate seems to jump around a lot too. It's scaring me a bitcould this be something serious like COVID-19? A local doctor mentioned something about swelling in my breathing pipe, but I'm not convinced. I've had various tests done like ECG, TSH, LFT, Creatinine, and a CT scan of my stomachall normal. This was all done at Fortis Hospital in Noida. The reports only mentioned an enlarged spleen, and the gastro doc said my digestive system is fine. This is the first time I've experienced such breathing issues, and it's really worrying me. I've attached my X-ray. Could you tell me if the prescribed treatment is safe and if it might help?

I'm really feeling confused and a bit worried. So, here's the thing: I got tested since I had a dry cough. Both the Covid antigen and PCR tests came back negative. But when I went to the hospital for the dry cough, they did something called an HRCT and noted a GGO and something about CORAD5. I'm not sure what this means. Could you explain what it's all about and if it's serious? I'm really not sure what to think here.
it means you have inflammation of lung
