I've been dealing with a really bad cough for the last week. When I saw a few local doctors, they told me it's a throat infection, and I even got three injections, including steroids, but nothing has changed. I recently started using a pump, but still no sign of improvement. What should I do next?

I'm really concerned about something I saw on my recent X-ray. It seems like there are scars on my lungs, and I'm wondering if there's any syrup or medicine that can help hide or treat those scars. Could you suggest something that might work?
