I hope the OP has seen a professional. Since I suggested it, the AAAP crowd (American Association of Amateur Physicians) has chimed in with allergies, COVID, reflux esophagitis and ARDS as well as some very specific pharmaceutical recommendations. Heck, in April 2009 my brother had the same symptoms, went to urgent care in TV twice 10 days apart, was given azithromycin both times, then returned to NY and got a proper diagnosis---He died of metastatic carcinoma of the lung in October. Forty years experience in internal Medicine and I wouldn't even consider floating a differential diagnosis, much less treatment recommendations based on the OP. Perhaps that means I should trade in my ABIM board certification and professorship at the University of New York for that membership in AAAP

Yeah, but who will believe you about that, Dr. Police Commissioner...
