I've been dealing with a cough for about two months now, and it hasn't gone away. I got an X-ray done, and everything looked fine, and my CBC results came back normal too. But this cough just won't go away. What could be causing it and what should I do next?

I'm feeling worried because I've been having this cough and a kind of vibration in my chest when I breathe, mainly at night or in the morning. I took cetcip l as my doctor suggested, and it seemed to help, but the symptoms came back just a day after finishing the medication. Should I be concerned about this? Is it something serious?

not that much serious

I've had TB and then caught COVID, and now I'm having chest pain and trouble breathing again. I'm wondering if I should get an HRCT or an MRI of my chest to check my lungs. I've had a few HRCTs before, but they have radiation, which worries me. Can you tell me which option might be better?

hrct is best

I've been dealing with a bit of a concern ever since I had COVID-19 last April. I got through it in about a week without needing to go to the hospital or taking any heavy-duty meds, but now a couple of times a day, I notice a light wheezing in my chest. It usually happens in the morning when I wake up, and to get rid of it, I end up coughing hard, which brings up a chunk of phlegm. I dont have a constant cough, only when I try to clear the wheezing. Is this normal post-COVID, or should I be worried about it?

Syrup salbutamol 10 ml orally thrice daily is advised to the patient.
