I've been dealing with congestion, a lot of phlegm, and a cough for about 10 days now. I took a COVID test right when these symptoms started, and it came back negative. I've been steaming about 6 to 7 times a day, but things aren't really getting betterthey're just staying the same. What should I do next?

My dad is 64 and has had a fever and cough for the past four days. We saw a doctor who suggested a COVID test, but it came back negative. We met with the doctor again and were told to do more tests. Today, we got the reports, and his CRP level is at 32 mglitre, and the X-ray shows a mild haziness in the lower left zone of his chest. I'm really concerned and wondering what could be causing these symptoms?
tab doxycycline , tab tusq

I'm dealing with acute bronchitis pretty often. It usually kicks off with a sore throat and then escalates to bronchitis, complete with mucus buildup in my chest and all that. I typically skip medication and just let it run its course, which takes about a week or two. I'm really wondering if this could be harming my lungs, though. Should I be considering medication instead?
