I've been struggling with a stuffed nose and trouble breathing for the past month, plus some chest pain for the last two weeks. I've seen a few doctors and tried medications for acidity, but nothing seems to help. I'm really anxious about whether this could be COVID-19, and I'm having trouble sleeping at night because of it. What could be going on?

View allI've had pulmonary bronchitis in the past and got treated for it recently. It's been about two weeks since I also caught COVID, and while mostly everything's fine, I've noticed that some foods are making my phlegm worse. I'm wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or if I need to check in with a doctor. What do you think?

I had a fever last week and also a cough for about three days. For the past three mornings, I've been noticing blood in my sputum for about 5 to 10 minutes, then nothing the rest of the day. I still have an occasional cough. Should I be worried about this? I've attached my chest X-ray and CBC. Could you take a look and let me know?
The presence of blood in your sputum, known as hemoptysis, can have various causes such as infections, inflammation, or more serious conditions like pneumonia, bronchitis, or even pulmonary embolism. Considering your symptoms and test results, I recommend a course of antibiotics to treat any underlying infection. Additionally, an antitussive medication can help with your cough. It is crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My cough's been lingering ever since I had COVID three months ago. It comes with mucus and now isn't going away. I've tried antibiotics, anti-allergic meds, and syrups, which seemed to work while I was taking them, but the cough just keeps coming back once I stop. I've had tests like chest X-rays and RTPCRs, and everything looks fine, so that's a relief, but the cough is driving me nuts. I've been prescribed a bunch of medications like Augmentin, Levomac, and Montemac, but I don't see much improvement. I'm beginning to wonder if this is normal. Could it be some kind of long-term COVID effect or allergy issue? I'm really looking for some guidance on what steps to take next.
Yes,continue all the medications as advised by the physician.
