I've been dealing with COVID for about a month now, and thankfully, it was mostly asymptomatic at the start. Lately though, I've been feeling this chest tightness or burning sensation, mainly in the evenings. Is this a normal thing to experience after having COVID, and what should I be doing about it?

Is there anything we can do about my dads recurring cough that started around November 2016? It took about 6 months to stop the first time, even after consulting doctors. Now its happening again and some doctors think it might be due to an allergy from working at a cement plant. Could you give us some guidance on what steps we should take next?

I'm really worried about my husband. After having COVID, he's been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, and his CT scan shows about 40-50% damage. Is there a better treatment available for this condition, and is it possible for him to fully recover? What complications should we be prepared for? He's currently using oxygen support at night, and his SpO2 level is around 93. How long might it take for him to improve?

I'm really worried about my lungs as I've been a smoker, but I quit. I haven't had breathing issues so far, but I'm concerned they might pop up in the future. I do yoga and breathing exercises regularlycan those help repair my damaged cilia, or should I see a pulmonologist? Are there any pre-treatments available? I'd appreciate any advice you can offer.
