I've been dealing with a wet cough for about 10 days now and my doctor put me on antibiotics and this aerodil syrup along with Montek LC tablets. When I'm on the medicine, it seems to control the cough, wheezing, and that annoying whistling sound, but as soon as I stop, everything acts up again. I'm kinda stuck because, with this lockdown, I can't find a doctor to consult. Do you think I should start taking the aerodil syrup and Montek LC tablets again? The nights are the worst, I just can't seem to get any sleep. Would love some advice on what to do!

I'm looking at my x-ray report, and it mentions that the bronchovascular markings are prominent. Is this something I should be worried about? What does it actually mean, and could it be related to any serious lung issues? I would really appreciate some clarity on this.

I'm really concerned about this shortness of breath I've been having for the past 10 days. My oxygen saturation is between 97 and 98, but I don't feel it when I'm walking quickly and I sleep just fine. I had mild COVID symptoms back in October 2020, and the shortness of breath was there until December, but everything's been alright for the past 3.5 months. I even got a CT scan through my pulmonologist, and everything seemed okay. But what's weird is if my mind is busy, I don't notice it, and if I try to take a deep breath on purpose, I just can't. What might be going on?

it might be due to anxiety
