I've had this cough for a week now, and despite using medicines and syrup, nothing seems to be helping. I'm starting to get worried. Why isn't it getting better? What should I do next?

I'm really worried about starting to use a revoliser. My parents keep telling me it's something I'll have to use for the rest of my life, which makes me hesitant to start it even though it's been prescribed to me. They're big believers in Ayurveda, and I wonder if that might be a better option for me. Will I really have to rely on a revoliser forever? Could it become something I get addicted to? Would love some clarity on this.

I've been dealing with some unsettling symptoms lately. About a month ago, I was diagnosed with Acute Bronchitis and went through a two-week course of medication, which cleared up my cough. But now I'm noticing similar symptoms again, with this annoying cough and a bit of chest pain. Should I consider getting a ChestLung X-Ray? Is it possible that this could be something more serious?

I've been dealing with this persistent cough and was put on levofloxocin 500 mg antibiotics for 5 days, but there was no relief, so they switched me to pulmocef 500. Still, the cough hasnt improved at all. I've been tested for TB, and the results were negative, no fever so far, but I do have shivering hands sometimes. I've attached my CT scan reports for reference. Right now, I'm on Tacrolimus 1.75 BD, Cellcept 750 mcg BD, and wysolone 7.5 mg OD. Is there anything else I should be considering or any thoughts on what might be causing this?

Continue all the medications advised by the physician.
