I've been feeling really unwell since May. It started with mild pain in the upper center of my chest, then turned into a high fever. By the 17th, I lost my taste and smell. Soon after, I noticed mild chest pain right in the center along with shortness of breath, but these weren't everyday occurrences. Strangely enough, these symptoms appeared again about 34 days later, and now they're back from June 23. This time, the pain has shifted a bit to the left and I'm having trouble breathing. Is this something serious? Could you please give me some advice?

View allCan I nebulate with both Duolin and Budecort for post-COVID care? How would I go about using them together?
Duolin (Ipratropium and Salbutamol) and Budecort (Budesonide) can be used together for nebulization, as they complement each other in managing respiratory symptoms; for post-COVID care, use as directed by your doctor, typically 2-3 times a day, with a common regimen being Duolin 2.5ml + Budecort 1mg2ml, but adjust frequency and dosage based on individual symptoms and medical guidance.

My dad just got out of the hospital after dealing with Post Covid Pneumonia, but he's still really weak and has a bit of a cough. I'm worried about his energy levels and overall recovery. Can you recommend any diet plans, energy-boosting drinks, or medications that might help him regain his strength? Oh, and he's diabetic and continues to take his usual meds for that. What should we do?
have foods with increased immunity , like papaya juice, coconut water

I'm really worried about my health after getting some tests done. My esionophils count is at 10.5 and my general doctor had me do a chest x-ray, which showed signs of COPD. But the thing is, I hardly ever smoke. So I went to see a pulmonologist, and they had me do a PFT, and I've attached those reports here. I'm really nervous about whether this is COPD or asthma. I have a cough, and sometimes a little phlegm comes up. Last year, I had a brief time where I felt short of breath while sleeping, but it went away in a day or two and hasn't happened since. No other symptoms apart from a cough starting mostly after March when I had a throat infection. I took antibiotics and ab phyllin, and now my cough is occasional. My esionophils are 10.5, and my IgE serum is at 400. Also, my mom, who's 60, has an asthmatic tendency. Can you help me figure out if this is COPD or asthma, and is it something that can get better? I don't smoke, drink, or work around chemicals...
it is asthma , if you have symptoms then only proceed with medication, otherwise take it whenever it is required
