I've been having this dry cough issue but it's weird because it only kicks in at night when I'm sleeping deeply. Do you have any syrup suggestions that could help with this? Also, I've noticed a strange sound when I breathe at night. Any idea what's going on?

My dad has been coughing for the past two months, and we've done all sorts of tests including one for TB, but everything came back negative. His CT scan showed he has a parenchymal cyst in the right lower lobe. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. I've already suggested he uses a Rotacap twice a day, but is there something else we should be considering? What steps should we take moving forward?

I've noticed some blood in my sputum, but I don't have any pain in my throat or chest. What could be causing this?

Coughing up blood, also known as hemoptysis, can be caused by several factors such as an infection, bronchitis, or even nasal bleeding. If there's no pain in your throat or chest, it could be due to mild irritation or inflammation in the airways. However, it's important to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any serious conditions.

I recently tested positive for COVID-19 on April 16th and after treatment, I got a negative result on May 8th. However, I'm now experiencing some breathing issues. My average O2 saturation levels are around 97-98. Should I be considering any kind of scan or is there something specific I should be doing?

No need to worry, when you are tested negative you are free from disease, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management
