I'm really worried because she's been dealing with asthma for about 10 years now, and she's been using medicine and an inhaler, but there hasn't been any improvement. Her breathing problems seem to be getting worse, especially with this constant cough. Could you please guide me on what we can do?

I got diagnosed with Pneumonia after catching the Covid19 virus last April 14, 2021. I've been on medication for weeks and started feeling better. But now, whenever I take a deep breath, I notice some discomfort and a bit of pain in the right side of my chest, near the lower rib cage. I work night shifts and this is starting to worry me because it's impacting my job. Could this still be related to what I went through with Pneumonia, or something else?

do chest x ray

I've been coughing for such a long time, but all my tests are coming back normal. The AFB test was negative, and even the X-rays look fine. Why am I still coughing so much? What could be causing this? I'm starting to get really worried.

Probable diagnosis is asthma,Copd,allergies,bronchitis,pneumonia ,GERD,sinusitis,etc tobacco use etc .Patient is advised for CT chest, complete blood count ,esr and C-reactive protein tests.
