I've been dealing with some troubling symptoms after testing positive for COVID-19 about 23 days ago. I initially experienced fever, cold, and cough, and took Paracetamol, Azithromycin, Vitamin C, and Zincovit syrup for about 6 days. I also did some Khadi steaming. But now, I'm having a persistent chest pain that's been going on for about 34 days. It hurts more when I take a deep breath. I've always had dust allergies and a wheezing problem, especially in cold climates. Thankfully, I no longer have fever, cough, or cold, and my oxygen saturation is between 95 to 97, but I'm worried because walking for more than 10 minutes is difficult. Could these chest pains be related to my previous conditions, or should I be concerned about something else?

My dad's been dealing with this really thick white phlegm and a cough every day after he got over bronchitis a few days ago. Before, the phlegm was yellowish for about 5 or 6 days, and now it's just super thick and white. Do you think this will clear up soon? It bothers him a lot, especially because he constantly feels like he has to clear his throat when he talks. He's not running a fever or anything, and he's breathing fine. It's just this cough and phlegm that's driving him nuts. What do you think we should do?

tab mucinac for 3 days , tab tusq for 3 days

I'm really concerned because I recovered from COVID about a month and a half ago, but I've had this persistent cough for the last two months. There's no mucus, flu, or cold symptoms accompanying it. Should I be worried about this lingering cough, and is there something I can do about it?

Tab azithromycin 500mg,orally,once daily for 3 days is advised to the patient.

My mom was diagnosed with COPD and dilated RARVPA about three months ago. She tested positive for COVID last week but has since recovered. However, her oxygen levels sometimes drop to 80, especially when she's sleeping. I'm really worried about how serious this might be. Can you tell me more about what foods she should avoid and what she should be eating instead?

no it is not serious. But need to take medication for COPD. avoid foods like banana, curd
