I'm really struggling with a persistent dry cough since I had COVID about a year ago. I've tried all sorts of syrups and tablets, but nothing seems to fully get rid of it. What do you think I should do next? Any specific medicines you could recommend?

I'm really concerned about my uncle - he's in the hospital and I was told his lungs are finished. Is that something that can actually happen or am I missing something? He's unable to talk or do much of anything. He also has TB and HIV, so I'm wondering how that affects things. Can you help me understand what's going on with him?
