I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with asthma since 2010, and now it seems like his condition is getting worse. He's using inhalers, rotahalers, and other meds every day, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Is there any real cure for this? Plus, he's been having skin issues that I think are from the side effects of all the meds. His overall health is not great either. What can we do to help improve his situation?

I'm a bit confused about my CT score. During my COVID infection, my CT score was 425, and now, post-COVID, it's 725. The doctor mentioned it's normal but I'm not sure what this means. I finished home quarantine 45 days ago and tested negative twice. Should I be concerned about the CT score of 7, or is there anything specific I need to do?

I'm dealing with some discomfort lately I've got this cough, and it feels like there's phlegm stuck in my throat and nose. It's making it hard for me to clear my airways, and I'm also feeling pretty fatigued. Breathing is a bit uncomfortable too, but I don't have a fever or anything. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

I've been dealing with this annoying dry cough, allergy symptoms, and asthma. I'm wondering if it's okay to take doxycycline with lactic acid bacillus capsules and also those levocetirizine montelukast tablets? Would they help with what I'm going through?
