I've been dealing with some leftover symptoms after getting over COVID. I was diagnosed back in April and finally tested negative in late May, but here I am, a month later, still experiencing a mild cough with phlegm in the mornings and sometimes a bit of chest strain when I sit and lean back. It's been a bit worrying, and I've had two different doctors recommend different thingsone suggested Pulmoclear and the other Montek LC. I'm just trying to figure out what would actually help in clearing up these post-COVID issues. Any guidance would be appreciated.

View allI'm really concerned about my dad. He's 63 and he's been dealing with asthma for a long time. He's currently using a Formoterol Fumarate and Budesonide Inhaler at 400 mg and taking Bilagra M tablets. I'm worried about whether it's safe for him to get the Covishield vaccine with these meds. Can you advise on whether it's okay for him to proceed with the vaccination?
Pneumonia vaccinne is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with Tuberculosis for the past two months, and although she was discharged from the hospital two weeks ago, she's still struggling. The doctors diagnosed her with mycobacterium tuberculosis and recommended she take Akurvit4 in the morning after meals, along with Benadon and some cough syrup. They mentioned it could take 12 weeks for her cough to improve, but it's been a little over two weeks, and she's still having cough and low-grade fevers. Is this normal? How long should I wait to see more improvement? She's had only a slight relief, but I'm getting concerned because it's not what we were hoping for.
Yes,continue same treatment as advised by the physician.

I'm dealing with this dry cough that just won't go away. It's been ages, and nothing seems to come up when I cough. I've already gone to the hospital and got tested. The docs gave me some tablets and did an X-ray too. But even after all of this, the cough hasnt stopped. One of the doctors mentioned it's not TB and said my chest looks clear. So what else could be causing this? I'm 26, don't smoke, and only drink alcohol on rare occasions and in small amounts. Just trying to figure out what's going on here.
That could be either allergic bronchitis or pharyngitis, visit Physician for appropriate management and consume warm liquids and fruits for better healing.
