I'm really concerned about my dad's cough. He's had it for about six months now, and it's mostly when he's lying down, but there's no fever. Besides that, he's dealing with high blood pressure, diabetes, and some heart issues. He's been on c furo cv 625 antibiotics for a couple of days, which seems to help a bit, maybe 40 percent better. But what else can we do? Any advice or other medicines you think would help?

View allI've been checking my symptoms online, and it pointed to cough variant asthma. All the symptoms seem to match, and I already know I have asthma since I use an inhaler. It's the Ventolin Albuterol one, but I feel like I'm using it too much because I constantly need to breathe better. Do you think this issue will eventually go away, or should I think about going to the hospital?

I'm really worried about my mom who's been on pulmonary tb meds for six months now. They didn't find any cavities, just some infections initially, and she's feeling better, but I came across a few blogs that said these meds might actually harm the lungs and could lead to more infections down the line. Is that something we should be worried about? What should we do to prevent any long-term issues? Would love some advice.
