I've been dealing with a cough, cold, and throat infection for the past two weeks. I've already taken azithromycin 500, Montair LC, Omnacortil 10, and Joshina syrup, but I'm not seeing much improvement. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?

Waiting for test results can be anxiety-provoking.

Swollen lymph nodes can have various causes, ranging from benign to serious.

Common causes include infections, allergic reactions, or inflammation.

In many cases, swollen lymph nodes resolve on their own.

Try to manage your anxiety by:

  • Practicing relaxation techniques (deep breathing, meditation)
  • Staying occupied with daily activities
  • Avoiding excessive worry or speculation

Your GP will discuss the test results and provide guidance on the next steps.

I've been dealing with a wheezing cough and shortness of breath for two months. I was on continuous treatment during the first month, but then I stopped. Because the cough got really bad again, I started taking wheezing medicines for the past five days, including Budamate 400 and Airz FF inhalers, along with Levot M and Nayapred just for five days. Initially, the cough and wheezing eased up on the first day of the medication. But now, after 4 to 5 days, even though I'm still taking the meds, the cough sometimes returns and lasts for a while. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening? Should I consider visiting the doctor again?

I was curious if the lung fibrosis that develops after having COVID is usually restrictive or does it tend to be progressive? I've attached my CT scan report from after my COVID treatment for some context. During my hospital stay, I received remdesivir injections.

Post-COVID lung fibrosis is typically restrictive, meaning it limits lung expansion and reduces lung capacity. However, its progression can vary depending on the severity and individual response to treatment. If you have concerns, please consult your doctor for a more personalized assessment.
