I've been dealing with some health issues after recovering from COVID-19. I tested negative back in November 2020, but I had pneumonia when I was positive. I've been under treatment for about a month with a reputed pulmonologist. My latest CT chest scan showed patchy ground glass haziness in the lower right lobe, and the CT severity score is 225. These days, I don't really have breathing problems or any major issues, but I feel a bit weak. Can you give me some advice on what I should do next or if there's anything I should be concerned about?

My mom's been having these fits of coughing, and it seems like nothing we're doing is helping. I can actually hear her chest wheezing when she breathes, and it's really worrying. She's not on any medication right now, but we have no idea what might be causing these fits or what's triggering them. Can you give us some advice on what to do or what might be the issue?

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?
