I've been dealing with a really bad cough for over 15 days now and nothing seems to help. I've tried multiple treatments but no improvement. I recently had a baby through C-section and my overall condition feels weak. Could this cough be related to my surgery or recovery? What treatment would you recommend for someone in my situation?

View allI've had this really bad cough for four days now and my doctor asked me to get a chest x-ray. The report mentioned something about patchy haziness in the lower right zone, which they said might suggest pneumonitis. I'm kinda worried because there's also blood in my sputum in the morning, though it turns to just yellow sputum later in the day. Could this be something serious? What should I be doing about it?
It sounds like you have a case of pneumonitis, which is causing inflammation in the lung tissue, and the blood in your sputum could be due to irritation or mild bleeding from the airways. The yellow sputum suggests an ongoing infection. It's important to follow up with your doctor for appropriate treatment, such as antibiotics or other therapies, to help with healing.

I'm really worried about the lung fibrosis I've developed after recovering from COVID. Is there any risk that this could eventually turn into cancer? I'm hoping to understand what "moderate degree lung fibrosis" means in this context and what potential complications I should be aware of.
no its not cancer

I've been having some issues for a while now and I'm hoping you can help me out. Last year, during the first wave of covid, I had a fever and all the symptoms but never actually got tested. I just went to a nearby hospital, took some steroids and tablets, and then recovered. But ever since, for about nine months now, I've been dealing with this constant mucus coming from my lungs and throat through my mouth, and there's this stuck feeling and congestion in my chest. I've seen a lot of doctors and gone through all sorts of tests like blood, urine, X-Ray, ECG, and even a hologram scan, but they all say everything is fine. I'm still really struggling with these issues. Any ideas what might be going on?
if tests are normal need not worry, start taking some cough syrup ,drink hot water
