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 really concerned about my wife. Back in 2020, she got Covid, and ever since then, she's been having these breathing issues. It's not constant but comes and goes, like she's fine for a few days, and then suddenly, she feels breathless with chest pain and heaviness. We've done all the testslike for asthma and chest X-raysand everything came back clear. We even tried an ayurvedic doctor who suggested it might be due to some cough in her chest, which he said was odd since the X-rays were normal. Strangely, his medicine seemed to help for a while. But now, the problem is back, and I doubt it's cough-related because she doesnt have a cold or fever. I'm at a loss and would really appreciate any suggestions or advice on what else we can do to figure this out. Could it be something post-Covid related that we're missing?

there might be some post covid issues. try yoga, breathing exercises. if still problem isnot resolved consult a pulmonologist

I'm coughing a lot and my chest feels like it's aching when I do. Should I be worried about this? Is it something serious, or maybe just a normal cold? What do you think could be causing this, and is there anything I should be doing to feel better?

I've been dealing with some health issues for a while now, and I'm really concerned. So, I had a fever for nearly two weeks starting around mid-April, and the highest it got was 103.5 degrees. It seemed like COVID since I had symptoms like loss of taste and smell, shortness of breath, weakness, and a persistent headache, but my COVID tests came back negative. I ended up in the hospital for a day and a half, and after getting some treatment, my fever went away. But I still can't catch a deep breath; I get winded easily, even with minimal activity. It's been about a month since I was discharged from the hospital, and this issue hasn't improved. What kind of doctor should I see, and what steps can I take to address this? I'm really looking for some guidance on what might be going on.

do covid test once again and start amoxclav tab for 5 days for secondary infections
