I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having these breathing issues for around two weeks now, and he's coughing up some whitish stuff, but he hasn't traveled anywhere recently. We did an X-ray and it seems like his heart might be a bit enlarged. Could this be what's causing his breathing trouble? Our city's in lockdown and I can't get him to see a doctor in person. No doctors seem available in our government hospitals too, so it's a real struggle. He's currently on Levo Mac 500, Dezacor 6, and Montegesic LC. What should we do?

My mom was admitted to the government hospital a couple of days ago because she had a really bad cough and her oxygen level was super low, like around 80 when we got there. The doctor said its a lung infection and gave her a prescription with some meds and injections. After taking just one dose, her blood pressure and pulse started going all over the place. I attached the prescription here. I'm a bit worried and just want to make sure these meds are okay to continue with. What do you think?

Continue same treatment as advised by the physician.

I've been noticing this weird poopingcracking sensation in my lungs when I'm sitting, and it seems to come and go without any warning. It's been bothering me because I'm not sure what's causing it. Could this be something serious, or is it just one of those random bodily quirks? Would love some guidance on whether this is something I should be concerned about.
