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've been dealing with asthma since I was 20, and my doctor has me using an asthma pump twice a day. I'm really wondering if using the pump and taking medicines can actually completely cure my asthma. Is there hope for getting rid of it entirely, or will I need to manage it this way long-term?

yes it can be cured
