I've been dealing with pneumonia for a couple of weeks now and I'm on antibiotics, but I've got this almost constant chest pain that makes it tough to sleep. My temperature is not extremely high, like around 37.2C, but what's really bothering me is this annoying, painful ache in the area around my heart. I know pneumonia can be serious and it's normal to feel unwell, but the ongoing chest and heart pain has me worried. I haven't seen anyone else mention these symptomsare they something I should be concerned about, or are they normal with pneumonia?

I'm dealing with some post-COVID issues and could really use some advice. When I'm teaching or talking a lot, I get this strange pain in my trachea, from my throat to my chest, almost like chest pain, but my ECG was normal. I've had breathlessness too, especially when putting pressure on my voice during classes. My COVID test was positive back on April 23rd and then again on May 5th. I had an HRCT on May 9th which was 0, D-dimer was 490, and CRP was 3.95. Now I'm feeling weak, have a little bit of a dry cough, a sense of cold on the inside, and some gastric issues. What do you think could be going on, and how can I address these symptoms?

take pantop 40mg for 5 days

I'm a bit worried because I've had this weird temperature fluctuation for the past four days. It's usually between 97-98 but sometimes hits 99, and I have a slight cough. I've been taking Calpol 650 twice daily, but it hasn't changed much. The last x-ray showed a patchy opacity in my left lung. Should I be concerned, or is this just normal? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .

I'm curious and a bit worried about something that's been happening. Whenever I cough, I notice a clear liquid, almost like saliva, coming from my mouth. It's got this salty-sweet taste to it. It's not discolored like yellow or green, just clear, but I'm unsure what might be causing this. Can you help me understand what's going on?

it might be due to some infection ,try syrup ascoril
