I've been dealing with a really bad cold and cough for a week now, and my nose is constantly running. It's making it hard to breathe, and the chest pain is pretty severe. I saw a general physician, but there's been no relief. The coughing and cold are making so much mucus build up, and the pain in my chest is unbearable. I'm feeling really weak and just can't shake this cold. What should I do?

I've been dealing with this leftover issue in my lungs after having the flu for a few days. It's day 5 now, and I feel okay overall, but I have this annoying frog in my throat. It used to be a sore throat, but now it only hurts when I cough. The big concern is when I try to inhale, I can't fully expand my lungs, and I'm wheezing when I breathe out. Could this be acute bronchitis? Do you think I need to see a doctor about it?

Seroflo inhaler sos is advised to the pt for wheezing.

My mom got over COVID about a month and a half ago, but her oxygen level is still around 93-95. Should I be worried about this? Do you think I should get her checked by a pulmonologist, or is there a chance she'll just get better on her own in the next couple of months? Before COVID, she had some dust allergies and would often cough, vomit, and sometimes have trouble breathing when going up stairs. What do you suggest I do?

I've been dealing with a wet cough for about 10 days now and my doctor put me on antibiotics and this aerodil syrup along with Montek LC tablets. When I'm on the medicine, it seems to control the cough, wheezing, and that annoying whistling sound, but as soon as I stop, everything acts up again. I'm kinda stuck because, with this lockdown, I can't find a doctor to consult. Do you think I should start taking the aerodil syrup and Montek LC tablets again? The nights are the worst, I just can't seem to get any sleep. Would love some advice on what to do!
