I'm struggling with this persistent cough that's just not going away. I tried using amlox, levofloxacin, loratidine, and even some home remedies, but it keeps coming back after a few days. It's getting really frustrating. Can you suggest what might be going on or what I should try next?

I'm really worried about the situation. Could you explain what the score significance is in this context? Also, how long might it take for the patient to recover if they've already started taking Remdesivir and their oxygen level is around 90-92?
