Day 7 after testing positive

I had what I call a phlegm attack last evening and it was a mess trying to cough it out and today I'm scared of eating a real meal because swallowing food or hot drinks triggers my lungs. I can feel some phlegm but it's not exactly around my lungs which is a good thing, it's in the back of my throat. I had yoghurt for breakfast some hours ago. I'm just trying to take it slow and if nothing happens before going back into bed tonight I'll be fine.
Bpm and oxygen levels are normal.

Gotta say, I've never had a phlegm attack but that sounds horribly miserable. I'm looking it up and apparently phlegm is made of dead bacteria, white blood cells, and other shit, so your body is expelling all the coronaviruses. If that's the case, does that mean you're close to recovering? I hope so.

@BlueVeins The thing is it happens without Covid too. My lungs aren't strong enough to get rid of it fast I don't have the strength to cough strong enough for it to get out. I can't till if it's necessary or just my respiratory system freaking out but either ways it's definitely harmful substances and shouldn't be inside my body.
It's been happening since early 2021 and my brother got hospitalized because of it 9 years ago. I ask someone to press on my chest so I can cough stronger, a technique a doctor taught me. Hopefully today I won't have to reach that far because after it's all over I feel like I been running a marathon.

It's a very good sign that your oxygen levels are normal. I think the phlegm attack is mainly because of what's called a post nasal drip which is often normal.
ممكن تسأل الصيدلية عن دواء مذيب للبلغم يخفف من
حدة الكحة بس أحسن تتأكد من الطبيب لو يناسب حالتك
سلامتك يا قمر

@SW-User Thanks.
المشكلة ان معنديش كحة اصلا. كمان احيانا بيحصل الموضوع ده حتى بدون كورونا. بس هحاول اشوف مذيب بلغم اكيد هيساعد و كله هيعدى 😊

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether
ياقلبي ان شاء الله كلشي يمر بخير
ممكن كمان تشرب سوائل دافئة مثلاً شوربة او شاي اعشاب تخلي البلغم خفيف و سائل أكثر عشان يخرج اسهل
و اذا عندك جهاز يرطب الهواء حاجة زي
Humidifier
يساعد على تليين مجرى التنفس و "يكسر" البلغم
أنا شخصياً يريحني لمن يشد عندي الربو و له فوائد و استخدامات اخرى

I could never keep any of my journal alive for more than a max of 10 or so days. After reviewing, I used to laugh at my childlike conducts and tear off those petty updates.
I am better off now. Just declutter my already hollow top Now. That is a magic.

sounds like you are getting to the worst of it, get some rest 😟🤗 and maybe some hot water with lemon and honey will help you 🍵 hope you feel better soon

I really hope the phlegm stops since you have a hard time expelling it. I hope this is over for you soon 💖. Thanks for keeping us updated.
