Starting mid april, I had on and off coughing. On 5th may I had x-ray done and doctor mentioned lrti right lung/chest. After taking medicine and 2nd x-ray on 20th may was fine. Pulmunologist suggested to take medicine for a another 3 weeks (allegra m & abphyllin-sr). After 3 weeks I still have slight coughing issue and chest congestion and sometime sore throat. There is constant urge to clear throat. I do steam inhalation mostly twice a day. During steam coughing increase and brings white frothy phlegm. Wheezing is there too (but better then before). Normal cough also produces white jelly phlegm and sometimes little black specks or spot. I don't have breathing issue or fever. But confession and coughing irritates. Also covid test came negative twice on 6th may and 3rd june. I noticed after taking antibiotics for 3-5 days it reduces and but comes back. Initially I took variant on amoxcilin, clarithromycin and it was better for few days. After moxinov also it was better for few days.

History suggests obstructive lung disease like bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, with respiratory tract infection. Blood count will help to suspect infection needing proper antibiotics for long duration. Sputum culture and afb test also helps. If everything normal you need very aggressive medication of long duration from pulmonologist. Regular periodic follow up necessary age not mentioned. Your overweight also adds to problem.
