My son has been suffering from fever and a persistent cough for the last year. I've consulted many hospitals, but there's been no improvement in his health. The fever returns every ten days, and the cough is a constant issue. What could be causing this, and what should we do?

View allI've been dealing with some leftover issues after my covid recovery about two months ago, and I'm worried. I was diagnosed with Corad 4 lung infection, and at the worst, my severity score was 1425. I'm curious to know how long it usually takes for the green glass opacities and consolidation in the lungs to heal and disappear completely. I generally feel okay, but there are times when I have to breathe with a bit of extra effort, and I occasionally feel a heaviness in my chest. Is this something normal? Also, I'm a bit confused about what breathlessness means in the context of covidis it supposed to be like shortness of breath or more about having difficulty in breathing? Can you give me some clarity on this?
breathlessness means difficulty in breathing. it will take time to resolve the opacities

I've been having some issues with my left lung and just got my x-ray results back. It shows there's some blunting at the bottom of my left lung. I'm a bit worried about what this might mean. Can you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take next?
Blunting at the bottom of the left lung on your X-ray could indicate fluid accumulation or scarring, which may result from infections, pleurisy, or other conditions. Its important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible tests to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
