I've been dealing with covid for about 10 days now and mostly felt okay, but Ive been having this mucus production that's still around after a week. I havent had any other symptoms, so I'm wondering what's going on with the mucus. Could you let me know what steps I should take or if theres anything specific I should do?

I'm really concerned about asthma and I'm wondering if a CT scan is actually helpful in diagnosing it early. Is there a better way to figure out if someone has asthma?

I'm really worried and need some advice. Every morning when I gargle and cough, I end up vomiting, and there's blood in it. It's like clear sticky sputum with blood streaks. This mainly happens when I force myself to vomit after coughing once or twice, and I get a bloody taste in my throat. But if I don't cough and just vomit voluntarily on an empty stomach, there's no blood, just clear sticky mucus. Is this what they call pseudohemoptysis? Could this be happening because of trauma from coughing too hard? What should I do?

Sputum for AFB and microscopy,x-ray chest pa view, complete blood count,esr and C-reactive protein is advised to the patient.

I'm struggling with a cough and cold, and now I can't sleep at night. I'm wheezing and finding it a bit hard to breathe, especially when trying to rest. I'm currently using a Duolin Inhaler, but it's not as effective as I hoped. Any advice on what else I might do, or should I be worried about the symptoms?
