Long-Haul Covid and Asthma Diagnosis (anyone)?

Hello, your story is very inspiring. Thank you and I’m glad to hear your feeling better. Did you have a lot of sputum discharge? I was wondering how they knew you had infection and how to treat it. I feel like I have a chest infection but my doctor doesn’t think so. I have burning, frequent pain, and phlegm that seems to be giving me congestion but doesn’t produce if I cough. It’s going on 2 months now for me and I have experienced savers fatigue in the meantime. Other then the antibiotics was there any other things that were helpful in your recovery? I’m looking for something to try because I’m struggling at the moment and waiting on a diagnosis/treatment option. Thank you for your time.
Best Regards,
Eric

I wonder if you are experiencing the same thing. If so, it's possible airway clearance might help. If you can't get the sputum out, there is a relatively inexpensive positive expiratory pressure or "PEP" device that can help loosen mucus so you can cough it out. 2 commonly prescribed ones are Aerobika or Acapela.
Maybe you could check with your doctor?
