I've been dealing with a dry cough for about four months now since having COVID. I've already had a chest X-ray and a CT scan, and both showed everything is normal. I'm a bit worried because the cough just won't go away. Could you recommend a good medicine or treatment to help with this?

Every time I breathe in, I feel this pinching pain in my lung area, and it's bothering me in both my chest and back. I've tried stretching and moving around, but it just doesn't seem to help. Could you give me some insight into what's going on?
