I've been having some mucus in my respiratory tract, and it's a bit weird because there's no cough or fever. But every morning, I notice this sound when I'm breathing in, and it's really uncomfortable. I'm wondering what might be causing this and if there's something I should be doing about it?

I'm really worried about my husband. After having COVID, he's been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, and his CT scan shows about 40-50% damage. Is there a better treatment available for this condition, and is it possible for him to fully recover? What complications should we be prepared for? He's currently using oxygen support at night, and his SpO2 level is around 93. How long might it take for him to improve?

I'm really worried and looking for some advice. It's been 15 days since I started TB medication, but I still have fever, chills, and this persistent dry cough. The meds are supposed to be helping, so I'm confused why these symptoms aren't getting better. Could you please advise on what might be going on or what I should do?
