I've had a cough and minor fever that started about 10 days ago. I took some medicine for it, but my cough still hasn't gotten any better. The fever usually kicks in during the evening, but not so much in the noon. Lately, my cough has gotten really bad, and it's so intense sometimes that it makes me vomit. I've also noticed a bit of blood in the mornings after coughing. The cough feels like it's coming from my chest rather than my throat. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

I've been struggling with this persistent dry cough for about three months now, and it seems to be getting worse. Sometimes I also experience a blocked nose for around 30 minutes, during which the cough stops, but once the cold goes away, the dry cough comes back. Also, I notice that when I cough, I sweat a lot, and if I talk too much, it triggers the cough too. Can you help me figure out whats going on and what I should do about it?

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

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?

I'm a 24-year-old male and a few months ago I had some serious chest pain. I got an X-ray done back then and it showed something like blunting of the anterior CP angle on the lateral view. The pain went away after taking antibiotics. Fast forward to now, Ive been dealing with diarrhea for about a month and when I visited the doctor, he suggested a range of tests something like re blood, RBS, LFT, Montoux test, colonoscopy, and a chest X-ray. Turns out, the chest X-ray looks the same as it did five months ago. Could you help me understand what's going on? Should I be worried that the X-ray hasnt changed?
