I've been dealing with a persistent cough for what feels like ages, like over a thousand years, and it's been seriously frustrating. I've visited countless doctors, but none of the treatments seem to work for me. I'm constantly dealing with a dry cough and a sore throat, and it just keeps cycling back. Its leaving me feeling really stuck and I'm not sure what to do anymore. Got any ideas on what could help?

View allMy dad's 72 and already has some heart issues. Recently, he's been dealing with fluid retention in his lungs, and even though he's on all the necessary medications and seeing a cardiologist, we're not seeing much improvement. He can't sleep well, isn't eating much, and seems to be getting weaker. We're really worried. Do you think we should consult a pulmonologist to help with his breathing, or is there something else we should be looking into to help him feel better?

I'm dealing with pulmonary TB and my doctor has included Benadon 40mg in my treatment plan. I'm a bit worried because I'm not sure what would happen if I accidentally took two doses of Benadon at once. Could it cause any problems or side effects?
Ideally nothing happens for once,but better be cautious further

I'm a bit concerned and would like some advice. I had COVID back in May and recovered at home with a mild case of lung pneumonia. I was on blood thinners at the time but stopped after my D-Dimer results returned to normal. Since recovering, I haven't had a cough or cold, but I sometimes notice black streaks in my phlegm, usually just once in the morning. I already spoke with a pulmonologist who told me to get a CBC and chest X-ray; everything came back normal. He said a CT isn't needed unless I start coughing, which I haven't. Is it common to have these black streaks in phlegm after COVID? At what point should I be concerned, and do you think I need any further tests? Here's a picture for reference. What do you think?
The presence of black streaks in phlegm, especially in the morning, can be a common post-COVID-19 symptom, possibly due to lingering inflammation, mucus, or fungal growth, and since your CBC, chest X-ray, and previous D-Dimer tests are normal, your pulmonologist's advice to monitor and not pursue further testing unless symptoms worsen or new ones develop is reasonable; however, if you experience increased frequency, thickness, or color change of the phlegm, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or fever, seek immediate medical attention to rule out potential complications like pulmonary embolism, bronchiectasis, or opportunistic infections.
