I've been dealing with some breathing issues for about a week now, and I'm starting to get really worried. There's this constant noise when I breathe out, and I've been coughing up thick white mucus. It's getting really uncomfortable. Could this excessive mucus production be something serious? And what can I do about it? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Hey, my dad is 65 and he had COVID pneumonia back in April with a pretty high HRCT score of 1225. He was discharged at the end of April and was keeping his SPO2 levels up at 98 without any extra oxygen. But since mid-July, his SPO2 has been hanging around 95 to 96, and it only hits 98 in the morning. Should I be worried that the infection might be coming back? Hes doing pranayama and using that 3-ball lung exercise tool every morning for 40 minutes.

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing. When I'm lying down, it's really hard to breathe and my chest feels tight. But as soon as I get up, it almost goes back to normal. I'm also having a weird cough that feels really dense and kind of stringy. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

take syrup ascoril twice a day for 1 week

I'm a bit worried and need some guidance. What does it mean if the etiology suggests a possible pulmonary Kochs infection? Could this be serious or contagious, and what steps should I take from here?
