I've had this persistent cough for about two weeks now and I've been trying different cough syrups. I started with Benadryl, but it didn't really seem to help. Then, my doctor suggested I try BroZedex, which gave me some relief, but it wasn't perfect. I also used Gokof by Fizikem, which made it a bit better, but the cough is still hanging on. What else can I try to get rid of this cough?

I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest under the lower ribs whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for three days now. Plus, I've started feeling short of breath during the same time. It's really starting to worry me. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm really worried about him. He recently got over COVID but now has this lung infection. His HCRT was at 1525 back in May, but when he got out of the hospital at the end of the month, it was down to 1125. His other tests like CRP and D-dimer seem normal, but he's been having some issues. He gets constipated, and in the mornings, he starts coughing a lot which gets better after he freshens up and burps. Similar thing happens after dinner; he coughs until he belches and then it's like back to normal. He keeps feeling like there's something stuck in his neck. Plus, he's type 2 diabetic, which concerns me. Can you suggest some medication or treatment that might help him?

I'm really worried about my 67-year-old mom. She had covid pneumonia and developed post-covid lung fibrosis. The doctors assured us there was no need for concern since she only had a dry cough and no symptoms. A year down the line, we did a routine CT scan and now there's a 3 cm lung mass and multiple nodules up to 9mm in her right lung. Could this be due to the fibrosis she had after covid? I'd really appreciate some guidance on what to do next.
