I'm experiencing this weird thing where every time I breathe, there seems to be a sound coming from my lungs, and I start coughing non-stop. Plus, I can't seem to get a good night's sleep because of it. Do you think there's something wrong with my lungs, or could it be something else?

I'm really worried about my dad. He has mild pneumonia symptoms based on a recent CT scan and is experiencing some breathing issues. He's tested positive for COVID-19, and his SpO2 levels are around 93-94. We tried to get a hospital bed for him, but none are available. What should we do now? He's currently isolating at home.
