I've been noticing that I'm spitting up blood mixed with mucus, but I haven't had any coughing. My chest also feels like it's burning. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

I'm really at a loss here. I've been hit with two chest infections recently and gone through three rounds of antibioticsamoxicillin, azithromycin, and doxycyclineand yet my cough just wont go away. Every time I wrap up an antibiotic treatment, I feel a bit better for a couple of days, but then the fevers and cough come roaring back. The cough is awful, brings up phlegm, and even sets off my asthma, making me feel lightheaded and out of breath. It's just so frustrating. I've ruled out whooping cough with a test, so I'm really wondering what could be going on and what I should do next. Any ideas?

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

I'm really worried after my CT scan showed that more than 30% of my lungs have moderate damage from Covid. Is this something that can be cured, or should I be super concerned about long-term effects?
