I have had a cough for a week that is not improving, despite taking codeine phosphate 5mg every 4 hours as prescribed. I am coughing almost constantly, experiencing sore chest muscles, headaches, and bringing up green phlegm. My COVID-19 test is negative, and I have no shortness of breath or chest pain. I am allergic to sulfuric and have a tight, sore neck from coughing. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am a 35-year-old male with an infected left ear. The ENT doctor prescribed eardrops to be used three times a day for a week. After using the drops, I feel fluish, my nose is stuffy, and I have to clear my throat frequently. Can these symptoms be due to the medication, and should I stop using it?

I was diagnosed with COVID on September 27th. Most symptoms have eased, but I started coughing on the 29th and had a coughing fit all night. The cough is consistent, productive with small amounts of beige-colored mucus, and accompanied by a tight chest and heavy feeling. I'm using Advair, Salbutamol, Lodalis, Rabeprazole, Dicetol, Mesavant, Tylenol Extra Strength, Vicks, Cepacol lozenges, and hot beverages. I also have a history of pneumonia in 2018, asthma, and colitis/Crohn’s. Is the coughing constant throughout the day, and is it a dry cough or a wet cough? Are there any medications I should try for the coughing, and do I need a prescription for them?

I have shoulder pain. When did the shoulder pain start? Is it constant or does it come and go? What type of pain is it? Is it sharp or dull, achey or stabbing? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the shoulder pain or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
