Ive had a cough with mucus for the past 15 days. It's gotten a bit better, but its still there. Should I be worried about this, or get a chest X-ray? And is there a chance my 1.7-year-old baby could catch it from me?

I've been dealing with some leftover symptoms after getting over COVID. I was diagnosed back in April and finally tested negative in late May, but here I am, a month later, still experiencing a mild cough with phlegm in the mornings and sometimes a bit of chest strain when I sit and lean back. It's been a bit worrying, and I've had two different doctors recommend different thingsone suggested Pulmoclear and the other Montek LC. I'm just trying to figure out what would actually help in clearing up these post-COVID issues. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Continue pulmoclear and montek lc for 7 days.
