I've been having a lingering cough, mucus, and this annoying chest pressure ever since I recovered from COVID about two months ago. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I see a doctor, or is there some over-the-counter medication that might help?

View allI've been having a slight cough and some wheezing again after getting better a couple of weeks ago. Now it's also paired with a cold and a stuffy, runny nose. I haven't traveled anywhere, but I did go out twice with a mask and gloves to grab some essentials. Do you think I should be concerned about it being COVID?

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been diagnosed with acute bronchitis, but he's still running a fever after four days of taking the prescribed medication. The doctor gave him Acebrophyline, acetylcysteine, Cefixime, montelukast, levocetrizine, and paracetamol. I'm confused though, is acute bronchitis usually caused by a virus or bacteria? Could there be an issue with these medicines not working, or should we be concerned about something else?
medicine which is given is sufficient , give paracetamol 650 mg three times in a day

I'm a bit worried because I've been dealing with a dry cough for about six months now. I did take a full course of an antibiotic syrup after consulting with my doctor, but the cough just keeps coming back. Interestingly, I noticed that when I traveled to Varanasi for a week, I didnt cough at all, but as soon as I got back to Panvel, the coughing started up again. Could this be related to something environmental or do you think theres another issue at play?
The persistent dry cough for six months, despite antibiotic treatment, and its mysterious disappearance during a 7-day trip to Varanasi, only to return upon coming back to Panvel, suggests an environmental trigger; consider consulting a pulmonologist or allergist to investigate possible causes, such as air pollution, dust, mold, or pet allergies, specific to the Panvel environment, and conduct tests like spirometry, chest X-ray, or allergy panels to determine the underlying cause.
