View allI'm really concerned about my dad. He had moderate COVID-19 and was hospitalized for five days, he's been discharged since January 1st, and all his reports were fine in mid-January when he was tested negative. It's been about a month and a half now, but he still has this mild dry cough. There are no other symptoms, though. How long can you have a cough after COVID, and should we think about getting him tested again? Any advice you have would be really great to hear.

I'm an asthma patient and I've been taking medicines like Montek LC and Seraflow 250mg rotocaps. I started this routine because of frequent asthma attacks since October 2014. Initially, I took them every day for three months, but then moved to only taking them when an attack happens. Lately, I've been having other issues like significant belly swelling, lots of gas, breathing problems, and constipation. Could you please help me understand these symptoms and suggest what I should do?

It's been 8 days since I tested positive for COVID, and I'm struggling with breathing issues sometimes. I've tried using a nebulizer with Asthalin, which helps a bit. Yesterday, my oxygen levels dropped to 93, so I had to use an oxygen pump. Can you suggest any medicines or other options that might help me deal with this?
